Slates

Xocolatti’s slates show you that every bite in a chocolate bar should be exciting and make you enjoy chocolate in deeper ways.

Mango Paprika

Both chocolate and paprika, a spice of ground pepper, have roots in Central and South America. Not surprisingly, they make a excellent balance of sweet and spicy. The paprika provide the punch for smooth white chocolate while the mango adds a tropical lushness.

Rose Hip Pistachios

The rose petals makes this slate an experience with your nose as much as your tongue. The rose petal fragrance compliments the chocolate and Italian pistachios, allowing you to access subtilties you wouldn’t have noticed. The two layers of chocolate, one white and one dark, to bring the pistachios to life.

Orange Hazelnut

You cannot top milk chocolate and roasted hazelnut. The orange oil counters the robustness of the hazelnuts while the adding of rice puffs makes it have a satisfying crunch.

Clusters

The chocolate clusters of Xocolatti show their exceptional workmanship. These dramatic shapes let you see how the chocolate integrates with the other flavors.

Hazelnut

Hazelnut and milk chocolate is a no-brainer and it never grows old. This one is the perfect marriage of crunchy and creamy.

Pomegranate Woodbury

Mixed in with bittersweet dark chocolate, pomegranate and Woodbury jelly inject a tangy and fruity taste to make an unforgettable taste.
