Some more Welling­ton arti­san prod­ucts now all avail­able under one roof at Moore Wil­son for your tast­ing plea­sure, and more well deserved choco­late acco­lades for Bohe­mein fresh choco­lates (long time provider at MW).

Black devils(Detec­tive) Fix and (Phileas) Fogg (around the world in eighty days any­one?) peanut but­ter might pro­vide the first seri­ous local con­tender against Pic’s (we count Nel­son as part of the wider Welling­ton region!) – just Aus­tralian peanuts and a lit­tle Marl­bor­ough sea salt. Quite a rich flavour. You can also check out the nutri­tion­al val­ue of each table­spoon­ful here.

Pre­vi­ous­ly only avail­able to your door month­ly on sub­scrip­tion, Wood­en Spoon ice cream is now in the MW freez­ers.  Alas I was on foot and either had to car­ry it in my tum­my (a lit­tle hard to share) or had planned MW as the last stop before home (no fore­sight), so I will have to return pre­pared soon.  The flavours catch­ing my eye were ANZAC bis­cuit, People’s Cof­fee Ca Phe Da (Viet­namese-style iced cof­fee) and Key Lime pie.

And last­ly, but best­ly, con­grat­u­la­tions to Bohe­mein choco­lates for once again being the only Welling­ton prod­uct in the Cui­sine Arti­san top ten awards for 2014 (the run­ner up prod­uct no less) with their Lit­tle Black Dev­ils — chewy caramel with fresh­ly roast­ed cocoa nib top­ping.  Rat­ed by the judges as well bal­anced in both tex­ture and flavour and not too sweet, this is a grand fol­low up to the 2012 top ten award for their Sea Salt Caramel. Nice­ly done George.  Get thee to a Bohe­mein store or MW post haste.
