Give A Cheer
For Chocoholics!
EILEEN GOLTZ SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS
I
t's time for my annual state of
the chocolate address. As your
duly elected Exalted Grand
Poobah of Mocha, it is my duty
to periodically inform all my loy-
al chocoholic constituents as to
the current world situation as it
pertains to chocolate.
I've been most diligent in my
efforts to bring you only the
"biggest" and the "best" of what's
available from the chocolate mar-
ket. Night and day, research, re-
search, research. (So much
chocolate, so little time to taste
test). This year, I zereod in on the
Ghiradelli Chocolate Company.
This company, founded in 1852
in San Francisco by Domingo
Ghiradelli, has a unique process
for formulating its chocolate prod-
ucts that leaves its competition
far behind in the taste depart-
ment. It's a little more expensive
than other brands but you can
definitely taste the difference.
Thr'r ground chocolate (not to be
confused with cocoa) is a special
mixture of chocolate, sugar and
vanilla makes the perfect cup of
hot chocolate. The fact that their
products are kosher is the choco-
late icing on the cake!
For years, the only place you
could get Ghirardelli chocolate
products was San Francisco.
Every time someone I knew
would make a trip out West, I'd
beg them to bring me as much
Ghirardelli as they could carry.
Since the company was pur-
chased by the Golden Grain Com-
pany, they've slowly expanded to
offer their products nationwide.
Thank goodness I can no get
everything from the ground
sweet chocolate to candy bars to
unbelievably fantastic truffles by
shopping at several local spe-
ciality stores. If they're out, I
know that I can always call 1-
800-488-0078 and the Ghirardelli
company will be more than hap-
py to help me find exactly what I
need.
Here are a few recipes to get
you going.
