Kerstin's Chocolates Edmonton







Chocolate!
The true gift of the gods, the forgotten major food group, the medicine to reward the soul (and women’s hormones) Chocolate!

In my ever expanding world of chocolate I have discovered yet another little chocolate place.
Kerstin’s Chocolates
10139 112 Street
Edmonton

Tucked away in the lower level of a residential/commercial condo complex this is a delite as you enter the door. The décor is friendly and cosmopolitan, the layout of the delicious little lumps of chocolate are (excuse the bad pun) tasteful and elegant. The merchandise is unique and lovingly displayed….

Now, what about the taste.
I sample a few of the creations, ginger dipped chocolate, pears, pepper infused ganaches, ginger and chocolate delectables. Very unique flavour combinations, chocolate caviar and the cacao buds---! These were a surprise there was none of the bitterness we would expect from this single sourced chocolate rather a exhilarating taste of roses, or was it cherry, or was it….? It was sweet but wonderfully so!

The combinations of the chocolates found here come from the owner’s travels and life experiences in Tokyo and New York. Once I heard this all these strange and wonderful combinations made sense.

Certainly a place to drop in an visit for unique chocolate combinations!
I will be going back!

They also have chocolate tastings (which I highly recommend one takes at least one chocolate tasting in their life-----. I had one booked but it ended up being on the only nice weekend we have had in Edmonton this summer- so I canceled! I do think, the Single Source Chocolate Tastings at Kerstin’s would be well worth it!

Tell her Raine sent you!
