chocolate dragees ALMOND and CINNAMON - paper box

Tasting And Pairing

Bite into one and the chocolate shell breaks first, then the almond's crunch follows — texture is the main event here, more than intense flavor. Cinnamon sits underneath as a warm, dry note rather than a dominant spice; it reads closer to a hint than a cinnamon candy.

Serve them at room temperature; straight from the fridge, the chocolate firms up and can mute both the cinnamon and the nut's own roasted flavor.

For a coffee pairing, reach for something on the richer, chocolate-forward side of DABOV's lineup — Brazil by DABOV is built around that kind of profile and won't compete with the cinnamon. If you'd rather try another dragée format, chocolate dragées Strachatella swaps the almond and cinnamon for roasted hazelnut and stracciatella chocolate.

What is a chocolate dragée?

A dragée is a confection built around a firm center — classically an almond — coated in a hard, glossy shell. The format is centuries old and was traditionally made with a sugar shell rather than chocolate; this version uses chocolate for the coating instead.

Is there a strong cinnamon flavor?

No — the cinnamon is a light background note under the chocolate and almond, not a spiced candy. If you're after a pronounced spice flavor, this isn't it.

How should I store the box once it's opened?

Keep it sealed and at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Chocolate confections can develop a dull, streaky surface (chocolate bloom) if they warm up and cool down repeatedly, which affects appearance more than safety.

Is this suitable for someone with a nut allergy?

No — it contains whole almonds and isn't suitable for a tree nut allergy.

What's a good drink pairing?

A medium-roast, chocolate-forward coffee like Brazil by DABOV complements the cinnamon without overwhelming it; a plain black tea works as a non-coffee alternative for the same reason.
