Yesterday I visited the shop of chocolate maker ‘Coco of Bruntsfield’ in Edinburgh. A huge range of their own dark, milk and white bars, various cocoa percentages, plus many flavoured bars, made keeping my purchase to three items quite challenging. We left with a 99% cocoa mass, their best selling 72% dark chocolate, and a rose and black pepper dark chocolate. Piper nigrum is the latin for Black pepper, the plant is to the left, and is the dried fruit and the seed of the berry; White pepper is the seed only.

They had recommended the rose and black pepper and after two tastings of all three, the rose and black pepper in both our tasters opinion, came out ahead of what where all very good quality products
