Aristokat Artisan Chocolates
A sample. A trio of chocolates to taste.
These are bespoke chocolates made by Gosnells chocolatier Katya Oost. She supplies her Aristokat Artisan Chocolate Couture Collection to two stores in Perth, one of which is The Good Store in Victoria Park.
High quality ingredients are utilised in order to perfect each of these little treats. The chocolate chosen is Callebaut from Belgium, and the fillings are made using Danish Lurpak butter. These give the chocolates an overall smooth, caramel, and creamy taste – rewarding from start to finish.
I choose three ($3.00 each) from the 19-chocolate couture range.
Lychee Flower – the floral fruit of asia is encased in this delicate shell
Hardened outer white chocolate casing, just hard enough to break under the slightest of pressure. The pink flower is buttery, sweet, and creamy. Slightly fragrant.
County Fair – childhood beckons with this rich toffee apple ganache
A gold leaf coloured milk chocolate outer shell with an inner white chocolate infused toffee apple ganache. Not so sweet at all, which was unexpected. A lovely overall package.
Theia – mahlab (dried cherry stone), star anise & honey infused ganache
A dark chocolate dried cherry flavoured casing with a smooth ganache that had a hint of star anise and honey. Balanced and not so bitter, well rounded ending on the palate. My favourite.
Each of the Aristokat chocolates have their own individual identity or character. Although each chocolate has a unique flavour, the tastes are quite subtle and not so overpowering. All elements are balanced with each chocolate. In store you can choose individual chocolates at $3.00 a pop, or a gift box of 9 (your selection) for $27.00. New deliveries of chocolates to the store occur every few weeks.
