favoriet januari: nog meer chocolade!

Mijn favoriet van december was de chocolade van Lovechock. En omdat ik net pas ontdekt heb dat er chocolade bestaat zonder suiker en zuivel heb ik het meteen goed aangepakt en in januari de andere chocolade getest die ik kon vinden: ook raw chocolate en een superfood. De chocolade van Ombar. Ook zij gebruiken raw chocolate en zoeten met kokos. Ik ben er nog niet uit welke chocolade ik het lekkerste vind. De chocolade van Ombar lijkt het meeste op de chocolade die wij als "normaal" zien: dezelfde dikte, verpakking en "romig". De chocolade van Lovechock is iets kruimeliger en misschien heftiger in smaak. Ik zou zeggen: test ze allebij zelf!

My favorite of december was the chocolate of Lovechock. And because I just found out that there is such a thing as chocolate without milk and sugar I immediately tested in januari the other chocolate I could find: also raw chocolate and a superfood. The chocolate of Ombar. They also use raw chocolate en sweeten it with coconut. I'm not sure which chocolate I find better. The chocolate of Ombar is more like the chocolate we think is "normal": the same thickness, packing and "creamy". The chocolate of Lovechock is more crumbly and maybe more heavy in taste. I would say: test it yourself!

lovechock

Door de drukke december maand is mijn post over favouriten van die maand erbij ingeschoten, dus snel inhalen! Het gaat over chocolade (ik ben geen chocoholic, maar soms vind ik het wel lekker) en dan special over Lovechock: een chocolade die bestaat uit puur cacao, zonder suiker en melk. Hij wordt gezoet met kokos en is verkrijgbaar in meerdere smaken. De chocolade wordt gemaakt van "raw chocolate": Normaal gesproken wordt cacao bij zeer hoge temperaturen gebrand en gemalen. Helaas gaat hierdoor veel van de kracht van de cacao verloren. Raw chocolate (rauwe chocolade) is anders: De rauwe cacao bonen worden niet gebrand. Hierdoor blijven veel mooie stofjes bewaard. Dit zijn met name de van nature aanwezige antioxidanten (flavonoïden) en de ‘liefdesstofjes’.
Bij Lovechock blijft gedurende de gehele productie, van boon tot aan het eindproduct, de temperatuur onder 49ºC. 

De chocolade smaakt naar een hele goede pure reep, dus als je daar van houdt zeker proberen! Wil je meer weten over raw chocolate en super foods, klik dan hier.

Because of the very busy month decemer my post about a favorite thing just slipped away, so I post it now. It's about chocolate (I'm not a chocoholic, but sometimes I like a small piece) and especially about Lovechock: it's a chocolate which is made of pure cacoa, without sugar or milk. It's sweeten with coconut and you can buy it in multiple tastes. The chocolate is made of "raw chocolate": In the regular chocolate production process, the cacao beans are roasted and ground at very high temperatures whereby much of the cacao's beneficial qualities are destroyed. But raw chocolate is differrent: The raw cacao beans are not roasted but cold ground, many of the beautiful cacao substances remain intact, namely antioxidants (flavonoids) and "love chemicals".
In the Lovechock process, from the cacao bean through to the end product, the temperature is kept below 49ºC.

The chocolate taste like a very good pure bar, so if you're into that you should defenitly taste it! If you want to know more about raw chocolate or super foods, click here.
