François Pralus also offers these fun "mini" versions of his now famous Pyramide des Tropiques. It's the same individually wrapped bars in miniature - 1/10 the size of the original, a perfect tasting party for 1...or...2. The Pyramide has attracted national attention in Fine Cooking, the Los Angeles Times, Health, Real Simple and the Chicago Sun-Times -- and ChefShop.com is named as the trusted source. The gorgeous Pyramide des Tropiques is the pièce de résistance of the François Pralus chocolate bar collection. Each bar is created with cocoa beans that originate in different plantations across the worldwide cocoa zone, and each has a cocoa content of 75%. This year's offerings represent a phenomenal range of flavor profiles, from the heady and full-bodied to the exotic and delicate. The collection consists of: Papouasie, Indonésie, São Tomé, Trinidad, Venezuela, Tanzanie, Ghana, Madagascar, Colombie and Equateur. A perfect gift for the chocoholic and epicure alike . . . but for dark-chocolate lovers only! About Cocoa Beans: Cocoa beans only grow in the tropics within 20 degrees latitude north and south of the Equator, and François has circumnavigated the tropics for his beans, finding the best available Forastero, Trinitario, and of course Criollo. No less than 18 kinds of beans are imported from Central America, South America, Madagascar, São Tomé and Principé, Vanuatu, Africa, and Indonesia for his chocolate bars. Some of his blends reach a cocoa content of 80%.
