celebrating twenty-five years
L.A. Burdick continues to make
celebrating twenty-five years
the world of
L.A. Burdick Chocolate
chocolate in the old world tradition —
by hand. Using authentic Swiss recipes
and skills passed down through the
generations, the staff at L.A. Burdick
Chocolate continues these traditions
at their home facility in Walpole,
NH. From bean to bonbon, attention
to detail is present every step of the
way. Each bonbon is hand-garnished,
hand-finished and hand-packed. The
Burdick chocolate mice go through 12
separate hand-worked steps before ever
being received by a customer. While
Burdick's craftsmanship is a far more
labor-intensive process than that of
conventional, molded, “machine-made”
chocolates, to us it is a labor of love. It is
the attention to detail that sets Burdick’s
above the rest in terms of quality:
texture, taste, freshness and appearance.

Made without preservatives, extracts or essences, L.A. Burdick
bonbons combine traditional European chocolatiering techniques
and thoughtfulness with American creativity and flair. Their
miniature size provides an ideal portion to enjoy a complex
intense chocolate flavor.
The world-class chocolate that we use in our recipes always gets
center stage. We are careful not to mask the chocolate’s complex
flavor with the complementing ingredients. If the spices, herbs,
fruits, coffee and teas are too strong, you can’t taste the variety of
chocolates we cook with.

Grenada
w w w.bu rd ic kc hoc ol ate.c om
Grenada cocoa trees grow in their natural, optimal state scattered amidst the fruitand nut-bearing trees of the tropical forest. Grenada cocoa is an exemplary flavor in
L.A. Burdick bonbon assortments.
The island has thousands of independent farmers with intimate knowledge of the
cocoa production process.
L.A. Burdick has partnered with the Grenada cocoa farmers to build a chocolate
factory in the northwest of the island. This partnership benefits the farmers by
helping to take more beans out of the commodity market and into value-added
products. By making cocoa farming more profitable, our partnership fosters the next
generation’s interest in farming and helps to protect a unique and distinct ecosystem.
L.A. Burdick in Grenada
Many of Burdick’s bonbons, drinks, bars and
pastries contain chocolate made from Grenada
cocoa beans. Grenada cocoa grows in an intact
tropical ecosystem, surrounded by fruit, spice
trees, herbs, bushes and flowers. These things
along with the island’s ideal overall climate and
unique volcanic soil create cocoa beans of unusual
quality. When turned into chocolate, it is hard
to overstate the effect of the ecosystem on the
chocolate flavor (terroir). The flavors of these
chocolates are deep, complex, long lasting and
taste of everything that is going on around
the cocoa trees.
Grenada is a chocolate lovers’ paradise.

terroir
Single
Source
celebrating twenty-five years
In winemaking, there’s a concept
called “terroir,” which refers to a
region, like Bordeaux or Burgundy,
with a special set of soil and weather
conditions that gives its wine a
distinct flavor and personality.
Chocolate making is no different.
L.A. Burdick Chocolate presents
the best chocolate flavors from
the best cocoa growing regions in
the world.
HOT CHOCOL ATE
Something to keep in mind: the
higher the cocoa content of the
chocolate, the lower the sugar
content. But higher cocoa content
does not necessarily mean higher
quality or better flavor. In a
chocolate made from inferior beans,
higher cocoa content means more of
something inferior.
Likewise, to a certain degree the
discussion on criollo content can be
misleading. I have tasted chocolates
made from beans higher in criollo
content that were mediocre and
some without any criollo content
that were the most complex and
interesting I have ever tasted.
Each single source offering has a distinctly nuanced
flavor reflecting the cocoa beans, origin. Please call
Customer Service at 1.800.229.2419 to inquire about
current availability.
Madagascar
Grenada
Bolivia
Venezuela
Dominican
Ecuador
As might be expected the discussion
is often too simplistic. Many things
added together decide what the
quality of the chocolate will be:
terroir, harvesting, fermenting,
drying, storage, roasting, how it
is ground, how it is mixed and
how it is conched. Like many
other beautiful and distinct food
products, keep an open mind, taste
with curiosity and enjoy.

Paula's favorite tastes from the island. The
fishing community Marquis St. Andrews,
Grenada hand-weaves these baskets; the
cocoa bar boxes are hand-woven from sea
grass. This basket includes a set of three
Grenada chocolate bars, a cocoa pod with
Grenada truffles (or cocoa beans when
available) , a bag of cocoa tea balls, cinnamon
sticks, 12 oz dark Grenada Hot Chocolate
and a bag of Grenada truffles.

Isle
C ocoa T e a B a l l s
In Grenada and most of the
Caribbean islands, cocoa tea is the
most popular drink for breakfast and
mid-afternoon. Islanders even say
it contributes to their good health.
We are happy to offer this healthy,
natural and unprocessed beverage
to our customers. The base of the
drink is cocoa that is pounded into
a paste and mixed with spices like
nutmeg, bay leaf, citrus peel, pepper,
cinnamon and, often, clove. The tea
balls complement our pastries, and
can also be grated over hot chocolate
as a garnish. Recipe included.
