OK! We admit it. We are chocolate lovers inside and out.
We may
have stumbled upon the ultimate (for now at least) double dark
chocolate, hand made (by us) ice cream sandwich. Recently in San
Francisco, we visited the Cowgirl Creamery store in the iconic Ferry Building close to the Bay Bridge.
Cowgirl
is one of the finest artisanal cheese makers in California. There,
while picking up some cheese as a treat for our friends, we were
introduced to the best chocolate cookie we have ever tasted. The
cheesemonger suggested that this cookie would be good with a touch of
fresh triple cream cheese topped with cherry jam. Yum!
The Bay Area’s Rustic Bakery
makes this delectable, sophisticated cacao nib shortbread that combines
both Valrhona chocolate and cacao nibs with a tiny bit of salt on the
finish. They stand on their own as a delicious dessert. But, when
incorporated into a mini sandwich with Rori’s Artisanal Creamery’s “serious dark chocolate” ice cream we were speechless!
At
Rori’s, “We create organic ice creams that not only take you to a new
planet, customers even credit it for making them want to be better
humans! We use only Straus Family Creamery organic milk, cream and
eggs. All those cows eat is grass, baby!”
Rori’s
just happens to be within a couple of blocks from our office in
Carpinteria, (Santa Barbara-Central California). The Straus Family
Creamery is located in Northern California and sources the milk and
cream for Cowgirl Creamery, as well.
Perhaps
you are connecting the local culinary dots. There is a fabulous trend
here in California to go organic and champion the artisans who have
paved the way to a brave new world of natural goodness that is simply
unsurpassed.
Happy Friday,
