Mezcal x Chocolate Pairing Guide
Mezcal and chocolate are a match made in culinary heaven, each complementing the other's rich complexity. The smoky, earthy notes of mezcal beautifully enhance the deep flavors of chocolate. This pairing is not just about taste; it's an experience that engages all the senses.
As kids, our mom was amazed at how much we loved chocolates that she would tell us “You eat chocolates like you eat tacos!" And she's right, we love chocolates SO much that we collaborated with a local family-owned confectioner, Fran’s Chocolates, to put together a Chocolate Pairing Guide with some of our favorite chocolates that taste delicious with your mezcal!
The Mocel Cupreata Expression, with its herbaceous and mineral notes, pairs deliciously with Fran’s Hazelnut Crunch Truffle, a praline of finely ground hazelnuts and milk chocolate, and their Caramelized Pumpkin Seeds, lightly caramelized pumpkin seeds covered with rich dark chocolate.
The Mocel Ensamble Expression’s floral profile complement an Orange Confit, a sweet and lightly floral candied orange peel covered in dark chocolate, as well Fran’s award-winning Gray Salt Caramel.
To complete your mezcal-chocolate pairing, we recommend finishing with the satisfying crunch of Fran’s organic Dark Chocolate Almond Trio to refresh the palate.
