Choc-o-holic: Capitals embodied by unique chocolate flavours

Singapore – Chocolate Research Facility has launched a range that aims to capture the flavours associated with ten capital cities from around the world.

For the Mumbai variety, cumin seeds have been covered in dark chocolate. Moscow’s milk chocolate is flavoured with vodka, while Tokyo’s incorporates sakura (cherry blossom) and white chocolate. Other capitals that have inspired chocolates in the range include London, Paris and New York.

Even the packaging looks delicious, with the chocolates enveloped in pastel coloured street maps of the corresponding city.

Chocolate Research Facility focuses on design and taste, serving up over 100 flavours in their laboratory-style store. The company also curates selections of chocolate-themed products sourced from across the globe. Science is increasingly being linked to lifestyle concepts – for more on this read our recent Turbulent Teens trend report.
