Coffee beans in chocolate with salt are an exquisite European dessert that harmoniously combines the rich bitterness of dark chocolate, the invigorating richness of coffee, and the unexpected spiciness of sea salt. This unique combination reveals deep layers of flavor, creating a perfect treat for true gourmets. The origins of this delicacy trace back to the tradition of pairing chocolate and salt, adding a crunchy texture from coffee beans. The dragee can be used as a refined addition to a cup of espresso, an elegant gift, or simply enjoyed during moments of relaxation. The chocolate coating enhances the richness of the coffee while the slight saltiness amplifies sweetness and depth of flavor nuances. They can be stored in beautiful tin boxes, turning each coffee break into a small gastronomic ritual.
