From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Éclat Chocolate is an artisanal chocolate company founded in West Chester, Pennsylvania in 2005 by Christopher Curtin. They are acknowledged most for their liquid caramels,[1] Peruvian Pure Nacional Truffles[2] and the "Good & Evil" collaboration bar with Anthony Bourdain and Eric Ripert.[3]

Products[edit]

The company is most widely known for the "Good & Evil" Bar with Anthony Bourdain and Eric Ripert launched in 2012 after their trip to Peru with Bourdain on CNN’s “Parts Unknown.”[4][5][6]

Éclat Chocolate currently offers five different flavors of their liquid caramels truffles: Milk Chocolate with Sea Salt, Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt, Ginger, Pear, and Calvados.[7][8][9]

In addition to the more classic flavors, Éclat Chocolate offers more flavor combinations such as Green Tea & Roasted Rice and Porcini & Thyme in their newest product line, the Parallel Bars.[10] The Parallel bars have been featured in the New York Times[10] and Bon Appetit[11] for their unique use of dual flavors and chocolates that run parallel to each other within the bar, hence the name.
