Thank you for your interest in DeVries Chocolate
and for subscribing to the mailing list. For the
time being, my on-line store is available only to
people on the mailing list, through the link below.
There are also links provided for more information
on me and DeVries Chocolate.
I opened the on-line store to my existing mailing
list just before Christmas and the response was
suprisingly strong (and I'm a serious optimist).
I had hoped to have a public launch at the first
of the year, but it will take a week or so more
to build up some stock for the that.

DeVries Chocolate is Now For Sale Online

Currently there are four items available,
77%, 80%, and 84% Costa Rican and 80% Dominican.
The 84% Costan Rican and the 80% Dominican
are in limited supply right now and so there
is a limit of one each per customer. Items
will disappear from the store when all the
inventory is purchased.
More 84% Costa Rican will be available at
the beginning of February. Depending on how
the aging goes, more Dominican will be released
toward the end of Feburary to the middle of
March.

Chloé Doutre-Roussel's Interview on PRI's
THE WORLD |
|
|
Lisa Mullins interviewed Chloé Doutre-Roussel
on PRI's THE WORLD and asked virtually all
the questions you would want to ask a chocolate
expert. Broadcast in May on THE WORLD, she
says some very nice things about my chocolate.
The response was huge and completely overwhelmed
my ability to deal with requests for information.
Chloé is the author of the Chocolate Connoisseur,
a must- read for the chocolate geek and the
owner of the finest chocolate palate I know.
You can learn more about her and chocolate
at her site www.chloechocolat.com

Interview with Steve DeVries |
|
This is a link to an interview I did with
Pam Williams from the Ecole Chocolat in Vancouver.
She asked some very interesting questions
and it provides quite an insight on me and
my chocolate journey. Her whole site is very
informative. I suggest a tour of it if you
have a general interest in things chocolate.

I started out trying to provide all the facts and figures
from the last few years I've spent learning about chocolate,
but the truth is all the verbiage is just window dressing.
Chocolate is about what happens in your mouth. Don't listen
to what anyone tells until you listen to your own taste
buds.
Trust your mouth.
Regards,
Steve DeVries
