First is appearance. The best chocolates (which are usually the most expensive) have the appearance of elegance and craftmanship. The color is rich, the sheen satiny. The designs are unique, the shapes demonstrate creativity and careful consideration.

The next sense to engage in your appreciation of fine chocolate is your sense of smell. Much like a fine wine, the bouquet of chocolate differs remarkably from one brand to another. But more than that, it's the rich, sensual aroma that makes the chocolate experience so incredible. For the best chocolate, you want to avoid those with a sickly sweet aroma. You know the kind, you can tell immediately that they were made on the cheap, with the chocolate diluted by preservatives or artificial flavors.

And finally, there's the taste.

The experience of taste should be deliberate. The chocolate should spend time in your mouth, coating the surface of your tongue in its rich, smooth softness. Linger. Don't swallow. Allow yourself to appreciate the intensity of the flavors. Enjoy the subtle shift from initial bitterness to sweetness. Endulge in the aftertaste.

Fine chocolate is fresh and intense, full of subtle flavors and a rich velvety texture. The outside coating is silken and semi-hard, firm. It complements the flavor of the filling, each less without the other.

Remember: the finest chocolate is a luxury. You don't consume it, you experience it.
