Just My Luck!

After reading this article about Amedei Chocolates, I immediately set about finding a way to order them! But alas... I just received this E-mail:

Dear Salli Vates:

Thank you very much for your recent order of Amedei chocolates. We hope you (or the recipient you have named) will deeply enjoy the tasting experience to come.

Extraordinary demand resulting from the recent publication of an article about Amedei from Food & Wine magazine on MSN.com has regrettably caused a temporary back-order situation which may delay your shipment.

We are taking the following steps to assure that everyone who may be affected by this receives his/her products as quickly as possible:

- We are shipping first to those who ordered on an expedited basis. Expedited orders will be processed first come, first served.

- We are shipping next to those who ordered with standard shipping, with preference to those who indicated at order time that the shipment is a gift.

- If your order value (before shipping and handling) is in excess of $50, we will upgrade you to expedited shipping at our expense.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we deeply appreciate your patience while we work to accelerate the delivery your order.

Sincerely,

The Gourmet Services Team, Amedei US

I like Amadei, but I much prefer Domori. Give it a try if you haven't already.
They will be at the Fancy Food Show NY this year, as well.
The complexity of the chocolate is amazing.
By the way, does your article in Pastry Art and Design include a pastry chef that opened an Indain take-out joint?

Thanks for the recommendation!
Yes, that article does include Lassi's chef-owner. She was a delightful interview.

I also would recommend you give the Domori Porcelana a try.

As an aside, the Porcelana is a fine cacao bean worthy of admiration. But there are others worthy of equal or greater praise. Right now, I'm really enjoying an Ocumare. Domori also has excellent Ocumare.

If interested... www.chocolatesophisticate.com has a good collection as do other online retailers. Just ask them and they'll be glad to make suggestions

Thanks so much, the Porcelana sounds great. How lucky I am that you both posted! I am experiencing a serious chocolate craving.
