TEMPO.CO, London - Chocolate lovers can now enjoy a culinary innovation that enables them to delight in a new way to eat chocolate.
After three years in the making, the maker of Baileys Original Irish Cream has released Baileys Chocolat Luxe: a chocolate "luxe" edition that infuses a generous amount of Belgian chocolate for the "ultimate molten chocolate drinking experience".
The iconic Irish brand released its newest innovation following a project that consisted of 200 varieties of chocolate and 839 failed experiments. The result is a finished product made with Madagascan vanilla, 30 grams of Belgian chocolate per bottle, and a lower alcohol content, the key to creating a balanced flavor profile.
Baileys says that by reducing the amount of alcohol by 1.3 percent, the flavor of the whisky complemented rather than overpowered the sweet smoky essence of the chocolate.
"The philosophy behind developing Baileys Chocolat Luxe was to create an ambient molten chocolate experience – something that you could pour and drink at room temperature that would have the multi-sensory experience of eating chocolate," said principal scientist Anthony Wilson.
His father, Steve Wilson, was one of the creators of the original Baileys Irish Cream drink. Baileys Chocolat Luxe is being sold for £17 (Rp271,824) at Harvey Nichols in London and will expand nationwide across Britain in October.
