It's nice to be able to occasionally provide commentary on something entirely uncomplicated. The And Sons's Made in California chocolate bar is an excellent example of precisely that.
The bar itself is made from blood orange olive oil from Sonoma County California, mineral rich sea salt from Tomales Bay California, and Peruvian dark chocolate from Napa Valley. It is housed in a sun yellow cloth bound box which reproduces Ed Rusha's often reproduced "Made in California" work, and the bar itself has the relief of the West Coast of California's topography.
Therefore this is a very simple luxury chocolate bar with strong ties to, and associations with, California. Whether this will have any value beyond the nice box seems unlikely. Chocolate isn't known for its longevity, but at least you get to experience something fairly uncomplicated, and quite simple in respect of the delivery of its idea.
Available from mid December with no info on pricing, and a wait list for notification on availability.
