Went to the Chocolate Salon, a crazy packed chocolate fair, last weekend at Fort Mason that brought out dozens of chocolatiers ranging from the biggies like Trader Joe's (!?) and the SF Chocolate Factory to the smaller, artisanal chocolatiers like Amano Artisan Chocolate and one of my faves, Lillie Belle Farms Artisan Chocolates, which had a smokey blue cheese truffle that was the perfect antidote to having way too much sweet sweet chocolate in a concentrated period of time. All that chocolate was like a shot of heroin to the arm; I was reeling. Fortunately, Lillie Belle plus a few sips here and there of wine, and yes a little quality time on the couch after, had me recovered by dinner time.

I had such an awesome time at the chocolate salon, but i have to say that the only time i almost GAGGED was when I tried that blue cheese truffle...
Thats interesting. I thought it was the most interesting thing there. Most oif the chocolates there were very pedestrian, no matter how gussied up they looked. But the Blue Cheese Truffle was outstanding! Great texture and the perfect balance between chocolate and cheese. They deserved their award for Best New Product. To each his own I suppose.
