Are you a romantic mastermind or a passionate provider? See below for the perfect pairing to make this Valentine’s Day unforgettable.
The Romantic Mastermind
You are a hopeless romantic searching for surprising, sweet pleasures in life, love and food. You don’t rationalize great taste to anyone and you aren’t afraid to pull out all the stops for the right person, especially on Valentine’s Day. White chocolate is simple, delicate and intriguing, so your perfect match is Green & Black’s Organic White, a milk chocolate made from fragrant Madagascan Vanilla and pressed to perfection for a wonderfully creamy and smooth texture. For the most romantic tasting experience, make the Green & Black’s Organic White Chocolate shine by pairing it with a glass of fruity and bold Pinot Noir to elevate the chocolate’s pure, sweet and creamy notes. Angela Aiello’s Wine of Choice: Rosehall Run Defiant Pinot Noir VQA from Ontario’s Rosehall Run Vineyard.
Loving Craftsman
Your perfect match is Green & Black’s Organic Milk Chocolate, a rich and flavourful milk chocolate that balances the intensity of the cocoa with the relative sweetness of the milk. As a milk chocolate lover, you are a timeless classic when it comes to romance. You’re caring, thoughtful, and you put your heart into everything that you do. You love the comforts of reliability, but that doesn’t curb your keen sense of adventure. Green & Black’s Organic Milk Chocolate is your go-to, and with good reason: it never lets you down. For a truly remarkable Valentine’s Day experience, enjoy this classic treat with some bubbly to elevate the rich cocoa and milk with its crisp and dry notes. Angela Aiello’s Wine of Choice: Benjamin Bridge Méthode Classique Reserve Brut Sparkling 2013 from Nova Scotia.
Tender Idealist
Your perfect match is Green & Black’s Organic Sea Salt, a delicious milk chocolate punctuated with delicate flakes of Anglesey sea salt sourced from Halen Môn. You are a thought-provoker. You might seem quiet and reserved to some, but that’s because you are busy contemplating deeper ideas. Flakey Sea Salt leaves your palate with more to contemplate, and the creamy milk chocolate helps keep you on your toes with its rich caramel notes, creating a perfectly balanced boost of flavour. This Valentine’s Day enjoy the Green & Black’s Organic Sea Salt chocolate’s delicate and complex flavours by pairing it with a sweet glass of Riesling. Angela Aiello’s Wine of Choice: Thirty Bench Riesling from Beamsville Bench in Niagara.
Passionate Provider
Your perfect match is Green & Black’s Organic Toffee, a premium dark chocolate with wonderful distinctions of crunchy Yorkshire toffee pieces for a sweet bitter taste. You are the life of the party, and like the crunchy surprise of the toffee, you love to add your own little bits of fun and creativity to everything you do! You love to host, share and participate, as your easy charm and gregarious nature liven up any room. Amusing, lively, and unique, you enjoy making a scene big or small and are drawn to embracing life through new opportunities and experiences. Serve this delicious and dark treat at your Galentines Day or romantic getaway with bae with an even dark and robust, aged Bordeaux-inspired Cabernet Sauvignon Blend to elevate the chocolate’s wonderful treacly and savoury flavours. Angela Aiello’s Wine of Choice: Trius Red Cabernet Sauvignon Blend from Ontario
