I came across the Paul and Mike Salted Capers Chocolate on their website under the Bestsellers section, and the fact that it was award-winning immediately caught my attention. I’m not really a chocolate person, but the idea of capers in chocolate was completely new to me, and curiosity got the better of me. So, I decided to order a pack and try it for myself.
This was also my first time tasting capers. When I took the first one or two bites, I was pleasantly surprised. The saltiness stood out immediately, and it felt very natural rather than overpowering. I later read that capers are naturally rich in sodium, which explains that subtle yet distinct salty note. The flavour was unusual—definitely not your regular chocolate experience—and at first, I couldn’t decide whether I liked it or not.
The chocolate comes in small bite-sized pieces (around 40–50 in a pack), which actually works perfectly for this kind of flavour profile. After trying a couple more pieces, I slowly started getting used to the taste. And before I realised it, I had finished the entire pack.
By the end, I genuinely loved it.
The balance between the saltiness from the capers and the chocolatey richness is very well done. It’s bold, different, and thoughtfully crafted. Knowing that capers are also healthy made the experience even better. This is not a “regular” chocolate—it’s meant for people who enjoy experimenting with flavours and appreciating something unique.
In all honesty, this chocolate truly deserves the award it has won. It’s a carefully crafted combination and feels like a well-thought-out creation rather than a gimmick. A true masterpiece for anyone looking to try something different and memorable.
Highly recommended if you’re open to unique flavour experiences.
