new obsession: mast brothers chocolate

chocolates
If there’s one thing I love more than cheese, it’s chocolate. Happily, I can find it in my favorite cheese shop! It was inside Murray’s Cheese that I spotted these beautifully wrapped chocolates by Mast Brothers Chocolate. Based in Brooklyn, Mast Brothers are the New York area’s only bean-to-bar chocolate makers, and are among a limited number of such artisans nationwide. Brothers Rick and Michael hand make each chocolate using cacao derived from a select group of small family farms worldwide. At $11.99 each, these are a tad pricier than your average chocolate bar, but the gorgeous paper wrappers and the Mast Brothers’ love for community — and, of course, the taste — make them a great gift. Buy Mast Brothers chocolate bars online at Murray’s Cheese and coming soon at the Mast Brothers site. –Sarah C.

I’d heard about them from Hollister Hovey, nice to see a larger distribution.

Those wrappers are really beautiful… definitely would make me slow down and carefully unfold the chocolate.
