harvest time flavors archive
As we follow the harvests during the spring, summer, winter and fall, we create chocolate bonbons with fresh local farmed and foraged ingredients, coming up with creative recipes that are unusual and delicious, and designed visually to tell a story. Below is a list of some of our favorites which we will add to as we create more each season. Bon appétit!
