Godiva Chocolatier

Taste

My first encounter with Godiva was a few years back, and the memory has stayed with me ever since. There's a shop at the QVB which sells them and I like to go and admire. This time around, I tried 2 precious pieces from their collection.

The first was a dark chocolate liquor filled chocolate. The aroma of the dark chocolate was heavenly, the liquor strong. The second was a milk chocolate filled with a creme centre, no nuts. Of course milk doesn't compare with dark but the creme centre was smooth and not too sweet.

Look

The distinctive gold packaging with the black Godiva ribbon has become a trademark and is as well known as the chocolates themselves. Each chocolate sits in their own little compartment with the cushioning top cover. Of course each chocolate looks special and inviting. Just like a Tiffany's box, you know the box represents luxury.
