Bliss Chocolate Lounge

Anyone who follows me ardently would know I am not much of a chocolates or desserts person. So this review of a chocolate brand might come as a surprise to quite a few of you. However, this is a brand I’ve been following from quite some time now. My first encounter with Zoroy Chocolates happened quite a few years ago, when I was presented a custom-made gift box for judging a college fest. Recently however, I came to know that their factory outlet is located pretty close to where I stay, so I was privileged enough to be able to visit it and try out quite a few varieties of chocolates. SHORT REVIEW: Delicious handcrafted chocolates in the purest form possible, made with the best ingredients and at a fraction of the price which other luxury brands charge! What more do you want! Oh, and they customize the packaging to your liking as well. DETAILED REVIEW: Their regular range chocolates are priced between INR 40 to INR 80 a piece, while their purist collection bars are priced at around INR 200 for a 60gm bar. The purist range consists of dark chocolate with cacao nibs in the range of 70 to 90%. These are made from stone crushed, single origin organic cacao, sourced from the Malabar regions. Some of the chocolates I tried included: Karakrakine: This was my favourite of the lot, with some crispy, crackly texture and the right amount of sweetness. Centre Caramel: This one was a melt-in-the-mouth burst of caramel balanced with the smooth taste of chocolate. Pistachio Passion: Something quite unique in their range, it is a bit hard to pinpoint the exact nut used, but slowly the pista flavours come to the fore as you take a few more bites. Almond Praline: This chocolate had a whole almond in it as well as an almond butter filling, with the slightest tinge of salt to add balance to the flavour profile. Berry Sparkle: This is a chocolate suited for kids and berry lovers, and is a bit on the sweeter side. Bhoot Jolokia Chilly: This bar from the purist range was my personal favourite, partially also due to the fact that I love the Bhoot Jolokia Chillies. It is neither too spicy, nor too sweet. Both the flavours kind of balance themselves pretty well. Malabar Coffee: This again is a dark chocolate from their purist range, and has subtle hints of the famous filter kaapi, my second most favourite flavour from this range. Noir 70%: People who love their dark chocolate bitter would prefer this bar. However, it is still a thousand times better than the Amul Dark Chocolate range. Legend 90%: Interestingly, the 90% tasted less bitter than the 60%, or maybe I was expecting a high bitterness quotient from this. OVERALL VERDICT: Dark chocolate has never been something I like, but with Zoroy, my entire view on dark chocolates changed. Would I recommend the bars? Absolutely! Would I buy them again? Hell yeah!

Bengaluru's very own and favourite luxury chocolatier @zoroychocolates has now set foot in Bean to Bar segment delivering gourmet chocolate. Zoroy Luxury Chocolate has come up with multiple bars in 70% & 90% cocoa segments with optional flavours of Malabar Chocolate, Coffee Bean and Bhoot Jalokia Chilli flavours. The cocoa beans are of single origin and organic from India which has its own diverse flavour and the beans are stone crushed to maintain temperature and retain their natural nutrition and antioxidant qualities. The Bean to Bar segment doesn't use any kind of oils and emulsifiers and sticks to cocoa solids and cocoa butter also making it a super food which is good for dieting, health benefits, nutrition and most importantly guilt free chocolate. I just wish they had the 100% segment as well.

GIFT FOR EVERY FESTIVAL AROUND THE CORNER I had been to the Zoroy Factory for knowing the details about how they come up with some of their signature chocolates the one that melts when we take in also the one that's spicy and crunchy . I was surprised and happy to taste the BHOOT JOLOKIA CHILLI chocolate thats spicy and something unique . Also they have their dark chocolate collection of 70% and 90% Pure cocoa bars , in these bars they maintain the nutritional value thats essential when we need them for our diets . Ever had a chocolate with almond paste in it ?? Well u get one here that's not only having almond in them as well they are unsweetened which is again something we look for on the healthier side try - ALMOND PRALINE . Love 5 star or Caramel alot ?? Try CARAMEL CENTRE . Looking for something berrylicious and something that melts try : BERRY SPARKLE . All in all a honest approach towards bringing out the best of chocolates taste alongside keeping up the nutritions that come along with cocoa beans

Was looking for dark chocolates. Here I bumped into this place in church Street and he does have a great collection. Not too pricy .. but really affordable. Do try the chocolate jams. It's yum...

They have a really good range of healthy products like chocolate bars and "Lakadong turmeric Milk" from meghalaya. I found their brownies better than smoor and third wave coffee roasters. Their Belgian shake was lovely.
