Soft against crunchy, honeyed against bitter: every square plays on contrast. For its Nougat & Pistachio Dark Chocolate Bar, Comptoir du Cacao, the French chocolate house, studs a dark chocolate containing 72% cocoa, made with pure cocoa butter, with pieces of soft almond and honey nougat and crunchy blanched pistachios. The bittersweet depth of the chocolate is balanced by the sweetness of the nougat and the delicate nuttiness of the pistachio, in a refined play of textures. Serve it with fresh apricots, or a glass of sweet Muscat.
