GOURMET GIFTS AND GIFT BASKETS
- Specializing in gourmet chocolates for all occasion.
- The Ghirardelli Chocolate Company is a manufacturer and marketer of premium
chocolate products. Incorporated in 1852, Ghirardelli has the richest heritage of any American chocolate
company. Ghirardelli's product line includes its signature SQUARES chocolate, chocolate bars, other chocolate
confections, baking chocolate and chocolate beverages.
- In the 1850's, Etienne Guittard embarked on an arduous journey from France to America. It was during the California Gold Rush, and in just a few short years, while still in his twenties, this adventuresome Frenchman struck gold on the rough and tumble streets of early San Francisco.
An experienced chocolate maker, Etienne had brought delicious French chocolate to trade for mining supplies, but soon discovered that wealthy miners were willing to pay premium prices for this elegant treat. Etienne sailed back to Tournus, France, where he worked in his uncle's chocolate factory until he could afford to buy his own chocolate making equipment. In 1868, he returned to San Francisco and opened Guittard Chocolate on Sansome Street.
In no time, San Francisco became one of the great chocolate manufacturing centers in America, where ships from exotic regions
of the world brought their cacao beans to market. Of the original
family-owned companies that brought commerce and culture to the dusty, often lawless streets of early San Francisco, Guittard Chocolate Company is the only one that remains family-owned.
- ROMANTIC GIFTS IDEA - HOT CHOCOLATE
Bliss aka Angelina Hot Chocolate Gourmet Gifts
Those of you who have been to Paris have probably tried the incredible,
very rich, decadent hot chocolate called Angelina. It is served in a demi tasse at
the cafe by that same name, Angelina, across the street from the Louvre on Rue Rivoli.
It is finally here in the San Francisco Bay Area. The beautiful black
cannister with antique French posters is filled with the hot chocolate mix...
appropriately renamed Bliss. We're sure you'll agree that this is a chocolate lovers dream come true.
All you do is add hot water and boil. The longer you boil the thicher the hot chocolate becomes, as the
cream is already in the mix. Bliss has very little sugar: it is primarily rich semi sweet cocoa and lots of cream.
The result is the most intense chocolate experience we know. In Paris, it is served hot and so thick, you will need a spoon!
