Choclatique – The Fanciest Chocolate At The Fancy Food Show!
When you’re looking for the finest chocolate in the world, you’ll most likely find it at the 33rd Annual Winter Fancy Food Show at the San Diego Convention Center January 13-15, 2008.
For sure that’s where you will be able to taste a sampling from Choclatique (Savor California Booth #843). Choclatique is for fun-loving, sophisticated chocolate lovers.
Choclatique is Nirvana, the Holy Grail and Disneyland melted into one luscious sensory experience. Choclatique beams as a delightful oasis in the oft-bland land of commercial chocolate-making. That’s what inspired founders Ed Engoron and Joan Vieweger to set out on a very personal journey to create beautifully seductive, hand-crafted chocolates to tempt the lips, thrill the palate and tickle the tummy!
