2006 - Garden Of Eden although it does not produce any chocolate of its own carries an interesting selection of
chocolate products. Outside of Zabars they may have the best assortment of packaged chocolate bars. A quick, no
where near complete list includes Lake Champlain ( 16 different ), Hachez Cocoa De Maracaibo , Cote d'Or (15 different
) , Bernard Castelain ( 7 different ) , Plantations Arriba ( 12 different ) , Korkunov, the only place I know of that sells this
highly touted but slightly overated product in New York ( 3 different including Hazelnut, Dark and Milk Chocolate ) , Lindt
( a staggering 23 different ) Milka ( 3 different including White Coconut ) , El Rey , After Eight from Nestle , Trufettes de
France ( 5 different ) , Terra Nostra Organic , the 73% is very very dark and extremely tasty , Michel Cluiziel ( 15
different ) , Valrhona ( 7 different ) , Perugina ( 9 different ) , Veritas ( 5 different ) , Sweet Riot ( 3 different ) , Galler ( 4
different ) , Finissimo Cloccolato ( 4 different ) , Ghiradelli ( 7 different ) , Feodora , Camille Bloch ( 8 different ) ,
Chocolat Weiss ( 2 different ) , Kinder - schokolade , Droste ( 2 different ) as well as 5 kinds of Pastilles , Cape Cod
Cranberry ( 2 different ) , Milka ( 7 different ) , La Rabar ( 4 different ) , Colts Bolts , Ritter Sports ( 12 different ) ,
Scharffen Berger ( 4 different ) , Chocolove ( 5 different ) , Newtree ( 7 different ) , Zolter ( 4 different ) , Green & Black (
8 different ) , Vivani - organic ( 5 different ) , Dagoba ( 6 different ) and a selection of Truffles which at $40 a pound are
a bit steep. On our last visit they had 18 different truffles and we most enjoyed the CocoBello Praline which was Dark
Chocolate over coconut with coconut shavings on top. We have purchased bars here a few times and have always
found them to be fresh which has become a concern as we have been finding with the expansion of quality chocolate
into local shops that don't specialize in chocolate more stale bars or bars that have been damaged through exposure to
heat.
