[Brussels Overloaded RevisitedThe last time I was in Brussels was late March 2020, just as COVID lockdowns were being introduced. Four years later I returned, wondering how the Brussels chocolate scene has changed.![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/icon/JR_Pods60x60FavIconCutoutButtons.png)The Chocolate LifeClay Gordon![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/thumbnail/MannekenPis_Featured1920x1080.jpg)](https://thechocolatelife.com/brussels-overloaded-revisited/) ... Spencer Hyman of Cocoa Runners presented a craft chocolate tasting to BSF Symposium participants. Spencer brought far more chocolate than was needed for his talk, encouraging each participant to select some bars to take with them. I took two from Pump Street Chocolate ([66% dark Sourdough and Sea Salt](https://cocoarunners.com/shop/pump-street-sourdough/?ref=thechocolatelife.com) \[Hacienda Limon, Ecuador\] and [60% dark milk](https://cocoarunners.com/shop/pump-street-ecuador-dark-milk/?ref=thechocolatelife.com) \[Hacienda Limon, Ecuador\]); one bar from [Tosier](https://cocoarunners.com/?s=tosier&ref=thechocolatelife.com) (70% Uganda – *not* the Semuliki forest shown); and one from Omnom ([Spiced White & Caramel](https://cocoarunners.com/shop/omnom-spiced-white-caramel/?ref=thechocolatelife.com)). { All links are to the Cocoa Runners website. } For my presentation with Zoi Papalexandratou, I secured three *pre-production* samples from a new maker in Côte d’Ivoire – [Cocoaïans](https://cocoaians.com/?ref=thechocolatelife.com). These three samples were made from Amelonado Forastero beans fermented using protocols developed by Bertus Eskes. [Reimagining Fermentation | #PodSaveChocolate Ep67Episode 67 of #PodSaveChocolate is dedicated to an interview with Bertus Eskes – an innovator in cacao fermentation techniques as witnessed by his TropMix and Anima fermentation methods that include understanding the role of cacao pulp and the flavor potential of cacao and finished chocolate.![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/icon/JR_Pods60x60FavIconCutoutButtons.png)The Chocolate LifeClay Gordon![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/thumbnail/Ep-067---EskesFermentation--Featured1920x1080.jpg)](https://thechocolatelife.com/reimagining-fermentation-podsavechocolate-ep67/) On the Monday after the symposium, I went to Rotterdam to visit Ewald and Jan-Willem of Heinde & Verre and was gifted with a selection of fifteen chocolates – six dark, six milk, and three white, *adding well over *4*kg to my carry-on baggage allowance*!

I shared some of that bounty with family and friends in Pittsburgh before returning to my office in Arizona, finishing off two bars \[Pump Street Sourdough and Omnom Spiced White & Caramel) along the way. In this episode of PodSaveChocolate I will taste and share my impressions on most of the Heinde & Verre bars (I won’t guarantee that I can get to all fifteen), the remaining Pump Street bar, the Tosier bar, as well as share my thoughts about the Omnom and Pump Street Sourdough bars I finished off. --- ### **Links** | **H & V Chocolates Tasted** | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Dutch Original [Dark 71%](https://heindeverre.com/chocolate/dutchoriginaldark/?ref=thechocolatelife.com) and [Milk 52%](https://heindeverre.com/chocolate/dutchoriginalmilk/?ref=thechocolatelife.com) | | [Dutch Grown Vanilla](https://heindeverre.com/chocolate/dutchgrownvanillamilk/?ref=thechocolatelife.com) (53% Milk) | | [Dutch Speculaas](https://heindeverre.com/chocolate/dutchspeculaasmilk/?ref=thechocolatelife.com) — Wikipedia on the differences between [Specul*oo*s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speculoos?ref=thechocolatelife.com) and [Specul*aa*s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speculaas?ref=thechocolatelife.com) | | [Dutch Fudge & Salt](https://heindeverre.com/chocolate/dutchfudgesaltwhite/?ref=thechocolatelife.com) (White 36%) | | Dutch Lemon Twist (White 37%) | | [Pure & Wild Papua](https://heindeverre.com/chocolate/purewildpapuadark/?ref=thechocolatelife.com) (Dark 71%) | | [Zesty Venezuela](https://heindeverre.com/chocolate/zestyvenezuela/?ref=thechocolatelife.com) (Dark 71%) | | Pearl of Ecuador [Dark 71%](https://heindeverre.com/chocolate/pearlofecuadordark/?ref=thechocolatelife.com) and [Black 100%](https://heindeverre.com/chocolate/pearlofecuadorblack/?ref=thechocolatelife.com) | --- ### **Questions?** If you have questions or want to comment, you can do so live during the episode or, if you are a ChocolateLife member, you can add them in the Comments below at ***any*** time. --- ### **Episode Hashtags and Related Accounts to Follow** #ChocolateTasting #cocoa #cacao #cacau #chocolate #chocolat #craftchocolate #PodSaveChoc #PSC #LaVidaCocoa #TheChocolateLife Instagram: [Heinde & Verre](https://www.instagram.com/heindeverre/?ref=thechocolatelife.com) | [Omnom](https://www.instagram.com/omnomchocolate/?ref=thechocolatelife.com) | [Pump Street](https://www.instagram.com/pumpstreetchocolate/?ref=thechocolatelife.com) | [Tosier](https://www.instagram.com/tosierchocolate/?ref=thechocolatelife.com) | [Cocoa Runners](https://www.instagram.com/cocoarunners/?ref=thechocolatelife.com) --- ### **Future Episodes** 🗓️ There are no future episodes scheduled at the time of publishing. --- ### **#PodSaveChocolate and #TheChocolateLifeLIVE Archives** **To read an archived post** and find the links to watch archived episodes, click on one of the bookmark cards, below.
