Camondas chocolate shop Dresden

A very pleasant chocolate experience yesterday at Camondas in Dresden, a city often called Germany’s Florence. Camondas offer a great mix of the worlds finest and exclusive chocolate bars, including the pictured 75% chocolate made of Criollo cocoa from Indonesia’s Java island, produced by Pralus. We usually associate Criollo cocoa, which is said to have the highest quality of all three cocoa types, and is also much more rare than the other two (Trinitario and Forastero) with South America, especially Ecuador and Venezuela rather than South East Asia but an effort has recently been made to grow its presence elsewhere.

At Camondas you can specify which taste category you would like to experience, such as for instance pure, fruity, flowerly, salty, spicy and many more. If you are looking for a rare exotic type of chocolate, its quite likely that you may find it here. The products of more than twenty five well known exclusive chocolate brands are displayed in the shop and are ready to be purchased. Additionally you will also find some new quality brands from “non-typical” chocolate countries such as Lithuania but also emerging bean to bar producers from cocoa growing countries such as Madagascar for instance.

A few times each month the shop also offers tasting hours and seminars for which you can register online. So if you want to learn about chocolate and you want to discover that the world of chocolate is so much more than any mass industrial product offered by some discounters then this is the right place to visit. And of course you will not only find 100g or 80g chocolate bars and tablets but also high quality pralines, nougat and honey sweet products. Great to see such shop, where you can immediately sense the love and passion for quality and delightful chocolate as soon as you enter it.
