More information about No 550 German Chocolate Mint
There are so many mints around the world that even in the 9th century it was said that if you wanted to name all the species, you might as well know how many fish swim in the Red Sea. So let's simplify the subject by looking only at peppermint. Its leaves have long been used by mankind for various ailments - including as an antispasmodic.
The name peppermint refers to a certain pungency, which can be attributed to its high menthol content. Together with the other components of the essential oil, it produces a penetrating, characteristic, pleasantly aromatic smell and an equally pleasant, aromatic, camphor-like taste that is initially burning and then leaves a lingering coolness.
Chocolate mint, with its black-brown leaf stalks that look very much like chocolate, has a similar flavor. However, the slightly different composition of the essential oil adds additional chocolate-like aromas, so that the overall impression of this spirit is reminiscent of the famous after-eight bars. It is therefore ideal with anything sweet (be sure to try it with ice cream!), to enhance meat (game!) and fish dishes and, of course, in cocktails. Our favorite version is simply pure in a glass!
