DERBYSHIRE, ENGLAND, November 14, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Thorntons is turning up the style with its brand new box of single origin chocolates - Metropolitan. Culinary couture meets cocoa chic in this stylish collection which has been crafted and designed by Master Chocolatier Keith Hurdman.
Inspired by chocolatiers from cities of the world, the dark Dominican Republic and milk Ecuador single origin chocolates are combined with delicious flavours such as salted caramel, orange blossom, quince and cloudberry to create this chic new box. Available in Thorntons store from early November, Metropolitan hits the shelves just in time for the pre-Christmas dinner party season or early
Christmas gifts shopping.
The Metropolitan box of chocolates will make an impressive gift and hopefully your friends will love you enough to share it with you!. Highlights include the Midnight Melt chocolate made of intensely dark Dominican Republic chocolate with fruity undertones, which just melts in the mouth, and the Praline Piazza - a light, crisp praline wand, packed full of crunchy feuillietine pieces contrasting with a velvety roasted hazelnut praline.
Metropolitan boxes will be available for you to enjoy in two sizes:, 19 chocolates (191g) RRP GBP5.99, and 37 chocolates (373g) RRP GBP10.99.
