“12 Quilates” Chocolates – Gourmet Edition, Oro La Senda
From Castilla-La Mancha comes a unique creation that blends the elegance of the finest Belgian chocolate with the essence of organic EVOO from Oro La Senda Almazara. The “12 Quilates” chocolates represent the perfect balance of tradition, innovation, and haute cuisine.
Handcrafted by Emily Chocolate Art, each chocolate is molded with intensely aromatic dark Belgian chocolate and hand-finished with delicate golden highlights applied by airbrush. A presentation that turns every piece into a small edible jewel.
Inside, you’ll find a surprising combination:
- Organic EVOO jam with spirulina, fresh and vegetal.
- Manchego cheese cream and white chocolate ganache, smooth, aromatic, and slightly saline.
Each bite offers a harmonious, elegant, and lingering play of contrasts, designed for those seeking luxury and distinction in every detail.
The box includes 12 chocolates presented as true pieces of a gastronomic collection.
