Schakolad Chocolate Factory Introduces Exotic New Truffle Flavors

Jan. 27, 2009 - PRLog -- For Chocolate enthusiasts, Chocolate knows no season. It is pefect for every season. And, for the European-Style Chocolatier, Schakolad Chocolate Factory, that statement now has very distinct flavors to back it up.

This month, Schakolad, winner of the best truffle at the Fontainebleau Chocolate Festival, is treating their customers to a new Signature line of unique chocolate creations…
Introducing Schakolad Chocolate Factory’s Truffles of the Season - two exotic truffle flavors that combine some of the best and most unusual aromas and flavors of the seasons into their creamy decadent chocolates.  

“We wanted to create combinations that reflect the spirit of the seasons – but we were committed to making the tastes interesting and unusual.  It is our intention that this signature line makes the statement that a single chocolate can be both divine and delicate while at the same time be a truly innovative taste sensation” says Schakolad Chocolatier Edgar Schaked.  These aren’t the old “stand-by” seasonal flavors… these have panache.

“It's hard to imagine a holiday or family gathering without chocolate – now, Schakolad actually captures those moments in each of their Truffles of the Season,” says Edgar Schaked.

Each truffle is hand-rolled, enrobed in creamy dark chocolate and free of preservatives or additives.  At Schakolad, truffles are handmade on location in the European tradition so freshness will never be compromised by bulk processing or shipping.

(January 27th – February 27th)
Apricot Cayenne - A rich and indulgent caramelized apricot meets the zesty, flavor enhancing character of Cayenne pepper for a savory sweetness that finishes with a warm, spicy surprise.  

Rose Petals   - Made with the essence of organically grown rose petal, this fanciful flavor is simple, purely floral and delightfully clean. It will be the prettiest tasting chocolate you will ever eat.

The popularity of uniquely flavored chocolates continues to grow, with gourmet chocolate being one of the fastest growing trends for personal indulgence. For many people, Chocolate is a very individual experience.  Just as with coffee or wines, gourmet Chocolate makers attract a following for their distinctive tastes, blends and presentation. One taste of fresh chocolate is often what turns the consumer into a connoisseur versus simply a shopper.

BACKGROUND:

The franchise system was created by Edgar Schaked with his father, Baruch Schaked, an expert in the art of chocolate making since 1969.  Baruch learned the art of making chocolates in a large chocolate factory in Argentina with his father-in-law.  The elder Schaked also traveled extensively to prestigious schools for chocolate manufacturing in Germany, Spain, Belgium, and Switzerland.

Schaked moved to Florida in 1985 and for nine years operated a chocolate boutique store in Miami.  At this store, he put into practice all the knowledge he accumulated while traveling throughout Europe.  He won first prize awards at the Fontainebleau Chocolate Festival in Miami for his truffles.

After his son graduated from Florida International University, he asked his father to teach him his legacy, so he might continue with the family tradition of exquisite chocolate making.  There was only one catch - Edgar Schaked wanted to create a chain of stores.  The elder Schaked agreed, and together they opened Schakolad Chocolate Factory (their last name turned into chocolate).

With 35 Stores across the world, the brand is fast becoming recognized as the perfect combination of a quality upscale chocolate boutique and a service-oriented atmosphere of the corner Mom and Pop European Chocolateria.
