Editorial Review for Fiori Chocolatiers – by Anna Roth
In Short
Fiori's founder and chief chocolatier, Lee Johnson, trained in Italy and utilizes many of the old-world techniques in his confection-making, including using organic ingredients and heirloom cacao beans. Flavors tend toward the subtle savory end of the spectrum: the "Balsamico e Fragola" truffle blends strawberries with aged balsamic, while Anise combines fresh fennel fronts, anise liqueur and coffee. A luscious drinking chocolate and a series of artisan chocolate bars are also available.

I found Fiori chocolates at the Chocolate Box by Pike Place Market. They had a lot of bars and truffles. Took one bit of the Havana truffle and oh my! A spicy chocolate??!!! At first I thought this would not be a good combo but the savory flavor was amazing. Tried some more of their chocolates (non-spicy) and found them superior to anything else I can find. Really great chocolate and the ganache centers we super smooth in texture. Bought a bunch of bars as well. The Sera was my favorite - not too bitter, not too sweet, but just right. The bar textures are out of this world smooth. Almost seemed like butter the way it melts. I thought, "this is a chocolate bar!" Keep up the good work Fiori!!
Pros: Really good chocolate, I can't think of another that compares
Cons: A little on the $$$ side but to me all spend the $ for the quality anytime

Visited Motore Coffee where Fiori chocolates are sold. I was quite impressed by the selection and the flavors. Fiori has some real exotic flavors that I haven't seen on the west coast. Also had a cup of the drinking chocolate which rivaled what I've had before in Paris. Staff in Motore were very attentive and helpful. Also found Fiori truffles in a smaller quantity in Cafe Umbria. The bars are exceptionally good, my favorite is the 'Sera' bar which is very fruity tasting at 65% cacao. I think the thing that they do really well is their chocolate seems to melt in your mouth faster then some other local places. Supposedly this is due to the rare cacao that they use (not sure). Overall very favorable and highly recommended.
