Well we did not win but we are still proud that our Honey Basil Chocolates where finalists for the Good Food Awards 2013. We make them honey and herbs from Carriage House Farm and cream from Snowville Creamery.  We are happy that our business practices meet the strong criteria to be a finalist and we will try again next year!

Thank you City Beat Staff! Here is what they had to say about us in the best of the city issue:

BEST HANDCRAFTED CHOCOLATES:
OK, eating too many sweets is never a good thing, but you can always feel good supporting Chocolats Latour. Shalini Latour makes fair trade treats using local ingredients and earth-friendly packaging. Plus, cocoa is an antioxidant, so they’re good for your heart! And these aren’t your typical chocolate-covered cherries. Flavors change seasonally, but a few unique examples are pink grapefruit and mint, ancho chile, smoked salt and almonds, orange tarragon caramel and Wild Turkey. Available at various Cincinnati businesses, including Findlay Market on Saturdays. 513-591-0085, chocolatslatour.com.
