Mont Blanc Gourmet features Ghana chocolate for its first release
Mont Blanc Gourmet introduces a market first with its Ghana chocolate syrup, featuring Omanhene chocolate. The first single-origin syrup is available now to specialty coffee roasters and retailers looking to offer a chocolate experience unlike any other.
“Chocolate and coffee flavors are distinctive and very much a part of where they come from,” says Mont Blanc Gourmet chocolatier Michael Szyliowicz. “Now, coffee lovers can savor a truly unique mocha that combines the chocolate and coffee flavors of a single region.”
Mont Blanc has partnered with Omanhene chocolate to feature the robust flavors of Ghana. “Because of the single-origin nature of the chocolate, and the unique cocoa processing done there, the red fruit notes are more dominant than in a typical chocolate,” says Szyliowicz, co-founder of the Denver company known for its innovative and high-quality products.
“Coffee drinkers enjoy the taste profiles of different growing regions,” Szyliowicz says. “With single-origin syrups, they have the ability to create their own distinctive taste profiles by combining the flavors of different regions.” The Ghana syrup can be used in mochas or blender drinks, mixed with coffee and poured over ice or drizzled atop ice cream or other desserts.
Mont Blanc’s latest product was born out of a commitment to unique, quality products, but also a desire to help specific cocoa-farming communities. And so the partnership with Omanhene was formed. Omanhene features Ghana chocolate, and its business plan ensures that Ghana cocoa farmers reap the bulk of the profits.
“Mont Blanc is committed to offering the best-tasting products we can find,” says Szyliowicz. “But a true benefit of single-origin chocolates is that we can help have a positive impact with the cocoa farmers in specific regions. We hope demand will allow us to expand our single-origin product line.”
