Chocolate-Covered Fruit Trio

Three varieties of dried fruit—cherry, strawberry, and raisin—each enrobed in a different single-origin chocolate chosen to bring out its character. The selections pair tart dried cherries with one chocolate origin, bright strawberries with another, and sweet raisins with a third, so you taste how terroir shifts the balance between fruit and cacao.

Each piece carries a deliberate ratio: one to one-and-a-half parts fruit to chocolate by weight. Achieving that balance demands patience. The confections team builds up the coating in a rotating drum, adding thin layers of melted chocolate as the fruit tumbles, a technique that takes roughly two hours and one hundred sixty passes to reach the right thickness without burying the fruit's texture.

The result is a collection that works as a tasting flight. You can compare how the same fruit shifts when met with different cacao, or how three fruits respond to the structure chocolate provides. The coatings are thick enough to snap but thin enough that the fruit remains the center of the experience, not an accent.

Because dried fruit varies in size and moisture from batch to batch, no two pieces are identical. You get the shape and chew of the fruit itself, wrapped in a shell that adds bitterness, sweetness, or floral notes depending on the origin. The set is small enough to finish in one sitting or to share as a side-by-side experiment in how chocolate and fruit influence each other.
