I am always on a quest for good (and unusual) chocolate. This time I found it in Malta. At first I thought there was a single source, the Malta Chocolate Factory in Bugibba. It is actually a chocolate shop with chocolate making facilities on premise rather than a factory. Most of it hand made. They have a wide selection of chocolate bars, truffles and bon bons. The most unusual was flavored with prickly pear cactus. My family enjoyed a truffle making class there. You can see us in the photo with the stylish hats.
What was quite a surprise was the Chocolate District, a small quaint coffee and chocolate making salon in Valletta. Even more surprising was the Tar Rahal chocolate I found at the fish market in Marsaxlokk, some of it flavored with figs.
