Salt & Straw Celebrates Artisanal Chocolatiers in February’s “Local Love” Series

February 4, 2020

Made in collaboration with 5 unique chocolatiers, Salt & Straw devotes menu to the new generation of passionate chocolate makers

PORTLAND, Ore. (February 4, 2020) – Salt & Straw Ice Cream celebrates local love this February, working with local chocolatiers to develop a menu of unique all chocolate flavors. Taste through Salt & Straw’s entire Chocolatier Series menu and find yourself taking a guided chocolate tour of Portland. For a unique twist this year, Salt & Straw has created a limited edition map, leading you on a tour of local chocolate shops in your neighborhood. The Chocolatier Series is available in Portland scoop shops and online beginning Friday, January 31st through Thursday, February 27th. Inspired by a new generation of passionate chocolatiers and chocolate makers who are transforming the craft into modern art, truly pushing the boundaries. Some focus on origin and terroir, others on roasting and conching, still others on pairings and design. The only constants: mindful sourcing and addictive flavor. Salt & Straw devotes the entire month to showcase the best of the best in the city, working with chocolatiers to translate their unique approaches into remarkably different but always unbelievable ice creams.
Salt & Straw’s Chocolatier Series ice creams are available by the scoop, flight or pint at all Portland Salt & Straw scoop shops beginning Friday, January 31st through Thursday, February 27th. The Chocolatier Series goes beyond the box of chocolates and makes the perfect gift for loved ones this Valentine’s Day.

PORTLAND

Lillie Belle Farms’ Marzipan Fig Bon Bon
Made with: Lillie Belle Farms Ghana 70% Chocolate
From: Central Point, OR
Southern Oregon’s self-proclaimed chocolatier to the rock gods has created a bon bon so delicious that its mere mention invokes a Pavlovian response in us. We deconstructed their spicy, fudgy Ghanaian chocolate into a rich marzipan ganache with clove fig jam and dark rum-spiked freckled ice cream.

 Missionary’s Meyer Lemon Chocolate Sorbet (v)
Made with: Missionary Chocolates
From: Kerns, Portland
Melissa Berry might be the world’s only naturopath who doubles as a vegan chocolatier. This bold dairy-free sorbet doesn’t hold back on the assertiveness of lemon or intensity of dark chocolate—we’d like to think it has some healing properties of its own.

Cloudforest Vanilla w/ Passionfruit & Dark Chocolate
Made with: Cloudforest 70% Ecuadorian Chocolate
From: Buckman, Portland
Chocolate maker, culinary innovator, and cacao magician Sebastian Cisneros of Cloudforest truly makes us think about chocolate in ways we never have before. We ribbon dark, silky fudge into a swirl of chocolate and vanilla passionfruit ice creams, made with cacao and vanilla grown in the lush Ecuadorian countryside.

 Xocolatl de Davíd’s Salsa Macha
Made with: Xocolatl de Davíd
From: Buckman, Portland
Driven by classic technique but unfettered by convention, David Briggs—one of the country’s top chocolatiers—has taught us about preserving the integrity of artisanal chocolate in ice cream since our early days. A nod to his love of salsa macha, we parceled out the housemade smoky chile paste into chile-laced ice cream, macha oil fudge, and chocolate bark studded with roasted peanuts and sesame seeds.

Woodblock’s Tanzanian Tin Roof
Made with: Woodblock Tanzanian 70% Chocolate
From: Irvington, Portland
Using only cacao and sugar, Portland’s first bean-to-bar company, Woodblock Chocolate, accentuates the unique characteristics of single-origin beans. In our reimagined tin roof sundae, you’ll find a spiced chocolate ice cream with vanilla and Tanzanian chocolate, rich fudge, and toasted peanut praline.
