It was a few years ago, while wandering through Dean & Deluca on Broadway, that I first discovered Mast Brothers chocolate. There they were – two bearded brothers dishing out scrumptious samples. How could I not stop? Plus, have you seen the packaging? I mean, really…it’s so gorgeous you might find yourself saving wrappers.
And you know from the packaging that what is inside is pretty special as well. These brothers seriously care about what they produce and how they produce it – sourcing out organic ingredients from spots like Madagascar and The Dominican Republic and bringing it to Brooklyn in the most innovative (or basic) ways possible (i.e. on a 70-foot sailing schooner).
Anyhow, at $8 a bar (or whatever it might be now), it’s not an everyday treat. But this stuff is legit. This isn’t some canned pre-fab idea. And, this is exactly the type of product that gets my senses totally reeling.
Completely inspiring. Plus, I just learned care of Departures magazine that wrappers can be customized. Brilliant.
