DID YOU KNOW... eating 2oz of dark chocolate with a minimum of 60% cocoa content (all of Gipson's Golden dark chocolates are 64% or higher) each day, and your risk of cardiovascular disease drops 11 percent.

How do you taste chocolate? Tasting chocolate is an art involving all five senses.

Look : First look at the chocolate, note its color and its sheen.

Listen : Break a piece off, listen to the sound of the snap. Is it a crisp or blunt sound?

Touch : What does it feel like in your hands? Is it smooth or brittle? Sticky or grainy?

Smell : Smell the recently broken piece. What aromas do you notice? What does it remind you of?

Taste : Put a small piece in your mouth, chew it just a bit, then let it melt. Notice all the different textures, aromas and flavors.

Is it creamy or dry?

How long does it take to become creamy in your mouth?

Do you sense bitterness, acidity or astringency?

What do the flavors remind you of? Do you sense fruitiness, floral, nuttiness, coffee...?
