Some Thoughts

It seems that when I reflect on food manufacturing, we are returning to a past age where the food was made without extenders, emulsifiers, preservatives, colour additives, taste improvers and such. The only time that we used preservatives was when home grown vegetables were salted to preserve them for winter. The fruit was simply bottled to keep it for the winter. Meat was also preserved by various methods because we did not have freezers back then.

I really want to manufacture chocolates without using additives and imitation flavours. So, the Intense Raspberry bonbons are just that, real organic raspberries. The Balsamic Strawberry is a reduction of Modena Balsamic vinegar, not imitation balsamic vinegar, over a strawberry ganache, made with real organic strawberries. Same goes for the macadamias and the cherries that I use.
