Anyone who follows me ardently would know I am not much of a chocolates or desserts person. So this review of a chocolate brand might come as a surprise to quite a few of you. However, this is a brand I’ve been following from quite some time now. My first encounter with Zoroy Chocolates happened quite a few years ago, when I was presented a custom-made gift box for judging a college fest. Recently however, I came to know that their factory outlet is located pretty close to where I stay, so I was privileged enough to be able to visit it and try out quite a few varieties of chocolates. SHORT REVIEW: Delicious handcrafted chocolates in the purest form possible, made with the best ingredients and at a fraction of the price which other luxury brands charge! What more do you want! Oh, and they customize the packaging to your liking as well. DETAILED REVIEW: Their regular range chocolates are priced between INR 40 to INR 80 a piece, while their purist collection bars are priced at around INR 200 for a 60gm bar. The purist range consists of dark chocolate with cacao nibs in the range of 70 to 90%. These are made from stone crushed, single origin organic cacao, sourced from the Malabar regions. Some of the chocolates I tried included: Karakrakine: This was my favourite of the lot, with some crispy, crackly texture and the right amount of sweetness. Centre Caramel: This one was a melt-in-the-mouth burst of caramel balanced with the smooth taste of chocolate. Pistachio Passion: Something quite unique in their range, it is a bit hard to pinpoint the exact nut used, but slowly the pista flavours come to the fore as you take a few more bites. Almond Praline: This chocolate had a whole almond in it as well as an almond butter filling, with the slightest tinge of salt to add balance to the flavour profile. Berry Sparkle: This is a chocolate suited for kids and berry lovers, and is a bit on the sweeter side. Bhoot Jolokia Chilly: This bar from the purist range was my personal favourite, partially also due to the fact that I love the Bhoot Jolokia Chillies. It is neither too spicy, nor too sweet. Both the flavours kind of balance themselves pretty well. Malabar Coffee: This again is a dark chocolate from their purist range, and has subtle hints of the famous filter kaapi, my second most favourite flavour from this range. Noir 70%: People who love their dark chocolate bitter would prefer this bar. However, it is still a thousand times better than the Amul Dark Chocolate range. Legend 90%: Interestingly, the 90% tasted less bitter than the 60%, or maybe I was expecting a high bitterness quotient from this. OVERALL VERDICT: Dark chocolate has never been something I like, but with Zoroy, my entire view on dark chocolates changed. Would I recommend the bars? Absolutely! Would I buy them again? Hell yeah!
