05/01/2008 - One of the new tiny little Neuhaus stores. They carry a nice selection and we're always down for checking
out Neuhaus's newest offerings. Definitely worth a visit if you've never sampled their wares. It's amazing how such a
small country, Belgium, can produce so much excellent chocolate.
2006 - ( Our Neuhaus Review ) - Neuhaus is another fine chocolatier out of Belgium. We find many of the pieces to
have a slightly buttery consistency which gives them a smooth feel on the tongue. Of course the firm has been around
since 1857 which has given them plenty of time to perfect their craft. New York has a tremendous array of available
chocolate and to rate each store seems almost silly. That being said if you were to divide the shops into tiers in our
opinion Neuhaus would be in the top tier with a handful of others. We've always loved the Pralines especially the
Madison (Praline with fresh butter and feuilletine) , the Bonaparte (Praline with almonds and hazelnuts) and the Sapho
(a simple Almond Praline). Other items we've enjoyed are the Cornet Dore, (Piped Almonds and Hazelnut Gianduja) this
is a nice looking item and we've found a small box of them makes a nifty gift, the Manon Sucre Vanille (Toffee, Walnut
and Vanilla Sugar) and the Manon Noir (Chocolate Mousse). Whereas many chocolatiers handle chocolate well what
really sets Neuhaus off from the others is their ability to work with liquor. Where else would one find a Truffe Cognac
(Cognac Butter Cream with Almond Chips) so delightful it's hard to describe.
