Zotter Chocolates Butter Caramel
- by Zotter Chocolate

If you asked us to describe the perfect chocolate bar, this Butter Caramel bar from Austrian brand Zotter would come pretty close. Made with 100% organic fair trade Dark Mountain milk chocolate and caramel stirred with butter, this small block of sweets packs some seriously mouthwatering flavor. The “hand-scooped” chocolate method, invented by Josef Zotter, describes the meticulous process involved in creating this treat—a detailed technique in which layers of organic ingredients are sandwiched between thin layers of chocolate. Bite into this bar and you’ll find a thick slice of smooth caramel and a layer of crunchy nougat beneath a coating of quality milk chocolate.

- When adding butter to caramel you get complex flavors due to the browning of sugar
- Flavors also are created by the Maillard reaction as the butter browns
- This rich chocolate works very well with aged goat gouda or other sweet and nutty cheeses.
- It is perfection when included on an autumn-themed cheeseboard along with slices of apple, crumbled cheddar, and a cranberry jam.
- Chocolate, like cheese is best enjoyed at room temp
