There are some exciting things coming up here on the blog.

Recently I’ve met a pretty awesome Coloradan (there are quite a few of us here in Paris…!), who is the mastermind behind . If there’s one thing about us Colorodans, it’s that we are about good food and drinks, community, and the great people that are behind these communities. There are so many stories to be told. Before I get into what PÜR FOOD PARIS is all about and what they are helping food lovers everywhere discover, let me fill you in on the founder, Kate.

Kate is a Colorado native that has lived in various countries in Europe before making Paris her base. She’s ambitious and cultivated, and has a knack for finding high quality delicious treats. PÜR FOOD PARIS is oriented towards discovering and hand picking the perfect partners and producers in key European countries, giving them the opportunity for their quality products to cross continental borders, language barriers and cultures to a boutique somewhere near you.

The products offered by Kate’s company are all hand picked, and she has traveled and met each producer and has been able to develop a unique business offer for their particular product and values. Her client list spans from here in Paris to London to Stockholm, Berlin to Dublin to Amsterdam, and in the near future to New York City, Hong Kong, Saint Martin & St Barth’s.

What PÜR FOOD PARIS is all about:
“We work with independent and exclusive EU-only producers from Denmark, Sweden, England, Italy, France and Belgium of exceptional and innovative food and drinks, from biodynamic champagnes, to rare reindeer meat and the jams made from the world’s rarest Arctic Circle berries, or the best selection of gourmet gluten-free products. As we hand-select each our partners and their products, we seek to offer only the best.”

How great does all of that sound? Connecting small, innovative, quality food and lifestyle products to hungry and gastronomically curious markets in various cultures …it’s as exciting as can be.

Throughout our conversations, I could immediately feel how well De quelle planète es-tu and PÜR FOOD PARIS could mesh together. Kate’s company focuses on products of exceptional quality, innovation, creativity, and pure European-ness. I was immediately drawn in to- and interested in- what they stand for, as well as the kind of producers and partners that they work with. The products have their own stories, and are created, made or produced by passionate people across Europe.

I am always keen to learn about new flavors and foods. After meeting Kate and reminiscing about our Colorado days over lunch at Higuma, I was so thrilled to be able to be a part of PÜR FOOD PARIS’s global introduction to the Parisian landscape, and to the world.

Without further ado, I’d like to introduce a chocolate brand that caught my heart at first sight: Konnerup & Co

These are quite possibly the most original chocolates of Denmark, with the most preciously color-combination wrapped chocolate bars and the perfect mix of classic and unique flavors. I know Scandinavians are known for their creative taste, but these chocolates by far are at the top of my list inside and out.

The chocolaterie Konnerup & Co was founded in 2003, and quickly grew in response to their quality craftsmanship, superior products, and not to mention their innovative edge. Konnerup & Co hand picks their ingredients carefully, and they step outside the box with their divine flavor combinations.

What makes this quality chocolaterie even more unique and dreamy is that they have created their facilities in an old Danish Inn, offering a full experience when you visit. I for one, am daydreaming of going to Denmark someday already, but now I just have to go and see the chocolaterie and try some of their fresh churned ice cream one summer afternoon.

    Back to the Konnerup & Co exceptionally well crafted beautiful chocolate bars: The 30g bars with precious phrases on the wrappers like “Have we met before?” or “Unwrap me, eat me, enjoy me” are the perfect size, and are ideal for gifts…. or to gobble down with a friend in front of a good movie. Flavors like the “Have we met before?” marzipan covered with 70% dark chocolate, “Unwrap me, eat me, enjoy me” crunchy praline, “Eat me before I melt” white yoghurt with orange and blackcurrant or “You’re on fire” milk chocolate and strong licorice are bound to make your jaw drop a little. I am a huge marzipan fan, so when I popped a bite of that one in my mouth fireworks went off. There was the perfect amount of marzipan and the perfect consistency of delicious dark chocolate.

The brand’s chocolate is also available in tablets. White chocolate and lemon, which I found to be so tangy and delicious, was like no chocolate I had ever tasted. I fell hard for the peanut and milk chocolate tablet, and loved that the peanut halves were visible on the tablet… I could see the crafted added value. You can see their entire selection on their website

In Paris you can purchase the 30g adorably named chocolate bars them at the Publicis Drugstore

Go and buy some high quality chocolate for a loved one.
