The delicacy of cocoa beans from South America combined with a hint of spicy flavor from Cambodia, this is exactly how the exquisite chocolates we prepare for you in cooperation with the HERUFEK chocolate manufactory can be described. We share not only your passion for perfect tastes but also the philosophy of helping people on the other side of the planet through our work. Fair trade with chocolate-pepper flavor If you browse through our assortment, you will definitely not miss the chocolates with ground peppercorns. We have prepared this delicacy for you together with Jitka and Michal Herůffek, who have been dedicated to making chocolate treats for almost ten years. Despite initial difficulties in finding the right beans, they eventually managed to discover the true cocoa treasure from Belize, Guatemala, and also the Dominican Republic. Just like us, the Herůffeks source cocoa beans directly from local farmers, which they then process in their chocolate manufactory in Čejč, South Moravia. The idea to combine our Kampot pepper with chocolate had been in our minds for a long time, and when we learned about the Herůffeks and their journey, we didn’t hesitate for a second. Red pepper with chocolate is a combination that works perfectly The Herůffeks are among those producers who definitely aren’t afraid of interesting experiments, so it was not difficult at all to agree on mutual cooperation, which resulted in three different types of delicate chocolates. The chocolates are so fantastic on the first tasting that we literally made them in the blink of an eye. Dark chocolate in combination with red Kampot pepper brings with every broken piece a trip into the deep exotic jungle among wild pepper vines and cocoa trees. Milk chocolate with pepper reminds us with its delicacy how sweet life can be. But what kind of life would it be without a little excitement? Therefore, the softness of this chocolate is complemented by red pepper, which unexpectedly enriches the milky pleasure with refined, rich tones of pepper. The grand finale is represented by white chocolate . After placing a piece of white chocolate in your mouth, a small symphony of sweet tones unfolds, complemented by fruity sharp peppery nuances that you definitely won't find in ordinary chocolate. And a little secret - with us, this white chocolate won! Have you tried it yet? Which one is your favorite? :-)

We invited the famous Italian chef Matteo De Carli to a barbecue – we were interested in how the best actually grill. The result surprised us! Simple combinations, a few quality ingredients, and it was ready in minutes. What did we learn from him? Don’t wait and surprise your guests before the grilling  Before we even heated the grill, Matteo made a five-minute salmon carpaccio with lemon, herbs, and  red Kampot pepper – this completely blew us away and satisfied the first hungry guests for a while. A few quality ingredients are enough  Matteo then began placing an unusual combination on the grill – octopus, juicy chicken steak, large pieces of potatoes, vegetables, and garlic – all seasoned only with quality salt and Kampot pepper. Homemade sauce  Forget store-bought sauces and prepare your own in advance – for example from  freeze-dried Kampot pepper – it’s so great that the ladies even tried it with watermelon; it basically goes with everything for dipping! Matteo reduced it with plum brandy, and the resulting taste was more than surprising. Freshness Meat alone is not enough! Make a fresh salad with strawberries as a base, then place veggie and meat options on top according to the guests’ preferences. Because when you grill simply and with fresh ingredients, you only need one thing – the final flavor, which is the figurative golden dot – for example freshly ground pepper on anything you put on the grill. Combination of flavors  Sweet, salty, sour, bitter – combine flavors, don’t separate them! That’s why a vegetable salad with sweet fruit on top works so well, that’s why guests rave about ice cream unexpectedly sprinkled with  fresh red pepper  – any extra flavor in food elevates it to the next level – don’t be afraid to experiment and you’ll be the chef of all barbecues! Buon Appetito!
