Barcelona Bar: an exotic chocolate made in the USA


In the USA I came across a chocolate bar called Barcelona Bar and it got my attention. It is made with hickory smoked almonds, sea salt and deep milk chocolate and it has a unique taste. It is one of the exotic chocolate bars produced by Vosges Haut-Chocolat, a company funded by a young American lady with the concept "Travel the world through chocolate". Her name is Katrina and she followed her food studies traveling the world. She started  with Spain, where she worked with the Adrià brothers. Vosges produces many other interesting types of chocolate that come in beautiful presentations.

Check Katrina´s Blog for recipes, stories and beautiful pictures. She has just posted a recipe mixing hot chorizo and melted chocolate!!!. Kind of weird for Spanish people. If you try it, let us know.
