Close your eyes, let your imaginations soar, and enjoy! When tasting a piece of chocolate, let it melt against the roof of your mouth to feel the texture. A fine chocolate should be velvety smooth without any of the graininess that comes from incomplete refinement. Roll the chocolate over your tongue, allowing the flavors to permeate your mouth. The initial taste should be a nutty, roasted chocolate flavor, followed by sweetness and other flavor components. Lastly, fine chocolates tend to have a longer "finish" or pleasant aftertaste that lingers on the palate Just thought I would help put y'all into a holiday mood.
