CHOCOLATE, Patric

I remember the first time I tasted Patric Chocolate. Jasper Mirabile told me about it, he said taste this. It is great. We were in his office.WOW!!!

Well, Jasper took me to a Slowfood event down on Main street in KC. Alan McClure gave a class of LOVE. You could feel his passon for Chocolate. There were many people there, it was a full house. I loved the Chocolate.... we ALL loved chocolate!

Yesterday I was with Jasper and his wife Lisa. Jasper brought out the Patric Chocolate. SO I had to tell the world. If you eat at Jaspers tell him you know about his stash of Chocolate. http://www.jasperskc.com/

Each bar is a revelation.
Thus, the goal of chocolate maker Alan McClure, founder of Patric Chocolate, is nothing less than to create micro-batch chocolate of such quality that it becomes a flavorful work of art in itself, like the finest wine or Scotch--a magical sensory experience. To achieve this goal, McClure has embarked upon an in-depth examination of every step of the chocolate-making process, seeking to retain only what leads to excellence, and to discard or revise what would harm this goal--in a neverending search for a chocolate whose components are flawlessly tuned, together, as one complex and magnificent instrument. As this great search comes to fruition, Patric Chocolate is releasing a gradually expanding line of fine dark chocolate bars and cacao products that bear the seal of this reality: the aroma, taste and feel that are uniquely Patric.

Jasper still makes fun of me of our trip through Italy and my Chocolate problem, I could not taste enough. They were melting Chocolate in a cup as hot Chocolate. It is my only vice:):):)

Jasper is Right,

Chef Michael Loves Chocolate, especially Patric Chocolate.
