Turkey Online Tasting

Bailliage of Türkiye
June 26, 2021

Vakko chocolates and Taylor's Port
" The combination of Port and chocolate was wonderful "

The eighth event the Bailliage organised this year was an online nationwide Zoom tasting of Vakko chocolates and Taylor’s Port.

Approximately 80 people received a beautiful package containing a bottle of Taylor’s Fine Tawny Port, and a metal box with Vakko chocolates.

Ms Burçak Desombre, Vice-Échanson of the Bailliage of Istanbul, gave a presentation with pictures she had taken herself during her visit to Taylor’s, as well as information about the Vakko company, its history and chocolate production.

Under her guidance we tasted:
- Pralines aux framboises (raspberry)
- Pralines sea-salted caramel
- Pralines amandes-noisettes (almonds/hazelnuts)
- Pralines au café (coffee)
- Orange sticks
- Extra fine 80% cocoa

The combination of Port and chocolate was wonderful. All participants expressed their pleasure in joining this event.

The presentation was given both in English and Turkish. Live streamed to the Facebook page Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Turkey, where it can still be seen. It is also on the YouTube channel with the same name.

Bailli Délégué Yves Léon announced that the next event in Turkey would be a tasting of Turkish Chardonnay wines at Sans Restaurant in Istanbul on 13 July. Stop press: it will be the local Bailliage’s first face-to-face occasion since February 2020!

Vive la Chaîne!
