Broma Brownie Company why our brownies are the best.

Now that  Broma Brownie Company is online (www.shop.eatmorebrownies.com) we wanted to touch on why we think we have the best mail order brownies or just the best brownies period. We do not use artificial ingredients. We use 100% fair trade organic American made dark chocolate. The cacao is from a Theobroma Cacao tree, Why is that important? Theobroma cacao is full of Theobromine a stimulant that aids in the production dopamine which gives you that feeling of happiness. In addition to theobromine there is powerful antioxidant called flavonoids. Flavonoids are naturally found in raw cacao butter, they posses anti-inflammatory properties and are also believed to have artery cleansing properties. These elements cannot be found in cocoa powder. Why? because its been processed and refined. Cocoa powder is chocolate minus cocoa butter which makes cocoa powder very bitter and requires addition sugars and dairy solids or synthetics made from oil to make it palatable and moist. Now I'm not saying that our brownies are gong to make you healthier but its more to let you know we have knowledge, over 40 yrs knowledge and we want to share that knowledge. We want you to know we will never use cocoa powder, dry egg product, dried milk product, & preservatives like the big brownie companies. We believe in giving our customer the best American high quality organic fair trade dark chocolate full of its healthy properties, local organic dairy from New England,  organic flour from New England, cage free eggs from Massachusetts, organic fair trade sugar, & organic vanilla from Massachusetts. To sum it up in one word, Integrity! Integrity in our ingredients, integrity in our business practices. See we're not afraid to list our ingredients truthfully so when you buy or give a Boston's Broma Brownie Company brownie know that your buying confidence in the most moist, rich, indulging brownie ever. 

Chocolate and Beer

What kind of beer goes with dark chocolate you ask? Here are some of my recommendations. Chocolate being one of my three favorite things in life the 2nd is beer, the third, well I leave that to use your imagination but it also goes great with chocolate. I have been pairing wine and chocolate for 20 years but never with beer until about a year ago. The first thing is selecting the chocolate. Choosing a high quality chocolate, with a high cacao percentage is king. Other factors like the location i.e.  Brazil, Peru, Ghana being leaders in high quality fair trade cacao. I prefer my chocolate to contain 66% cacao or more. My favorite is chocolate producer is TCHO based out of San Francisco. TCHO 66%  it is smooth with hints of dried cherries, currants and coffee. When pairing a chocolate of this caliber I would suggest a sour ale like a Flanders Red such as Rodenbach Grand Cru with a sour cherry and toffee accents or a Stout like Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout or the The Abyss - Deschutes American Double / Imperial Stout with accents of cacao, chocolate, toffee, coffee and caramel, it's an excellent pairing. Belgian Tripel's like St Bernardus Tripel  will also make a excellent chocolate companion the tartness of the beer will accent the dried fruits and cacao and make them come alive.

As you can see there are plenty of options for beer and chocolate to live harmoniously on the palate. But the most important is to have fun with it. Don’t be afraid to try different things you just might surprise yourself.
