231/365 - ROCOCO CHOCOLATES

My friend shared a few chocolates from this lovely box. These are truly artisan chocolates. This one here is called Parfum d'Ete. It is filled with white chocolate ganache with crushed lemon puree, olive oil and sweet basil! Wild! Here's a blurb about the creator of Rococo Chocolates:

Rococo was founded in March 1983 by Chantal Coady. Coady graduated in Textile Design (Camberwell School of Art & Crafts) in 1981, and went on to complete an MSC Small Business Course. Armed with a little knowledge, a dangerous passion for chocolate and a belief that there was room for a radically different approach to chocolate, she decided to open a shop in the King's Road (Chelsea, London). 26 years later, the author of three books about chocolate, Coady still pushes forward to boundaries of chocolate retailing with 3 shops in London - the flagship store is at Motcomb St, in the heart of Belgravia. www.rococochocolates.com
