Mastering the Art of Coffee and Chocolate Pairing

At ROYCE' Chocolate, we understand the simple yet oh-so-delectable pleasure of pairing fine chocolates with the perfect coffee. Inspired by expert advice from the chocolatier community, let's explore how you can elevate your coffee and chocolate experience.

The Bold World of Dark Chocolate and Coffee

Dark chocolate, known for its rich, bittersweet flavors, is a connoisseur's delight when matched with the right coffee. For those who savor our dark chocolates, the ideal coffee pairing can significantly enhance your tasting experience. Bold and robust coffees, especially dark roasts and espresso, are perfect for complementing chocolates with high cacao content such as our ROYCE' Origin Chocolate "Cacao 80%".

For those who prefer slightly sweeter dark chocolates, with cacao percentages between 50% and 69%, a medium to medium-dark roast coffee can offer a harmonious balance, marrying the chocolate’s bittersweet nature with the coffee’s aromatic richness.

Milk Chocolate: A Creamy Coffee Companion

Our milk chocolates, beloved for their creamy texture and sweet, milky flavor, pairs wonderfully with coffee drinks that mirror their richness. A classic latte or cappuccino, with their frothy, milk-based composition, complement the smoothness of milk chocolates exquisitely. For a cold treat, try an iced coffee or a blended coffee drink—these are just as delightful with milk chocolates, enhancing their flavor without overpowering them.

White Chocolate and Creamy Coffee Drinks

White chocolates, with their delicate sweetness and buttery profile, pair best with similarly creamy coffee beverages. Indulgent choices like lattes, cappuccinos, or even more decadent concoctions such as a toasted marshmallow coffee milkshake or a black forest coffee can amplify the sweetness and richness of white chocolates. These pairings are especially perfect for those who have a penchant for sweeter, cream-laden coffee preparations.

Embrace the Spirit of Experimentation

While these suggestions offer a starting point, the joy of pairing coffee with chocolate lies in personal taste and experimentation. Each palate is unique, and exploring various combinations can lead to delightful discoveries and enhanced enjoyment of both coffee and chocolate.

Of course, there are also other ways to enjoy the pairing of coffee and chocolate. You can do it with a coffee-infused confection such as our Marshmallow Chocolate "Milk Coffee" or by indulging in whole, roasted coffee beans coated with milk chocolate such as our Coffee Beans Chocolate.
