For Real Co is for the youths. And they’re here to stay for real.
Their love for bold flavors deepened after making Yotam Ottolenghi's Garlic Tart, prepared with three whole bulbs. This experience revealed garlic's transformative qualities—its sweet, complex character shining through—and opened their eyes to how its deep flavours could beautifully complement the taste profile of fine cocoa, a key component of exceptional chocolate.
That’s when they turned to us at Fossa Chocolate to help bring their vision to life. We were thrilled to take on the challenge—creativity, innovation, and a passion for flavours are at the core of everything we do. Sharing photos from their travels, Paul and Emma recounted the flavours and experiences that left a lasting impression on them. Brimming with ideas, they were eager to transform these cherished memories into something truly special for a momentous occasion.
The bars have been met with great enthusiasm by those who have tried them, not only for their taste but also for the bold and adventurous nature of both creations. Many have remarked how it truly pushes the boundaries of what can still be considered chocolate, sparking both thought and conversation.
“Thank you for creating these bars! The magnificent packaging, which truly resonates with us, garnered plenty of compliments. We've often been asked, "Is that you?" when people see the figures on the black garlic packaging—a question we've heard so many times already!”
