Kuchokera kwa ogwira ntchito m'migodi omwe amafunafuna golide, opanga akuyenga nyemba, chokoleti chakwathu chili ndi mbiri yakale - kuphatikiza, komwe mungapeze mphatso zotsekemera kwambiri lero.

Mukayenda mpaka ku Ghirardelli Square, zomwe anthu am'deralo samachita kawirikawiri, ndi kulowa mumzere wautali wa alendo, mutha kununkhiza - chokoleti mumlengalenga.Ghirardelli sapanganso chokoleti ku San Francisco, koma izi sizichepetsa gloss ya Original Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop, yokhala ndi njerwa zowonekera, njanji zamkuwa, ndi zida zanthawi yayitali komanso zosangalatsa. mbiri yakale.Osanenapo: gooey hot fudge sundaes.Imasungunuka tsiku lililonse kuchokera ku zowotcha, fudgeyo imakhala yosalala kwambiri, yonyezimira yowoneka bwino ya ma emulsifiers ndi zolimbitsa thupi, komanso fungo lonunkhira bwino lomwe limamveka pabwalo momwemonso sinamoni ya Cinnabon imanunkhira pamsika.

Chokoleti ili ndi mbiri yakale ku San Francisco, kuyambira kwa anthu oyamba kukumba migodi kufunafuna golide mpaka opanga amakono akuyenga nyemba.Lawitsani kaye za mwambowo - ndiye, nthawi ya Tsiku la Valentine, pitilizani kuyang'ana pansi kuti mupeze malingaliro amphindi yomaliza.

Ndizosangalatsa kuti Ghirardelli ndiye fakitale yakale kwambiri ya chokoleti ku United States.Kupitilira apo, mukangoyamba kukanda pansi pa mbaleyo, mutha kulawa nthawi yonse ya cholowa cha chokoleti cha America - kuyambira masiku a Gold Rush, pomwe osamukira ku France ndi Italy adayamba kupanga chokoleti pamlingo waukulu, ndipo kupita patsogolo ku kusintha kwamagulu ang'onoang'ono a Scharffen Berger kumapeto kwa zaka chikwi.Ndiye pali fakitale yatsopano yonyezimira ya Dandelion, yomwe kuzindikira kwake ku California - kuthamangitsa zosakaniza zabwino kwambiri ndikuzisamalira mopepuka momwe zingathere - zikuthandizira kutsogolera gulu la chokoleti lero.Mwanjira imeneyi, kuyang'ananso m'mafakitole a chokoleti ku San Francisco kuli ngati kusefa m'nkhokwe zakale za chokoleti ku America.

Ghirardelli inakhazikitsidwa mu 1852, Hershey asanafike mu 1894 kapena Nestlé Tollhouse mu 1939. Domingo (wobadwa Domenico) Ghirardelli anali mlendo wa ku Italy yemwe anabwera pa nthawi ya Gold Rush, poyamba anatsegula sitolo yaikulu ku Stockton, kenako sitolo ya maswiti ku Kearny.Fakitale idasamukira ku Pioneer Woolen Building yomwe ili m'mphepete mwa nyanja mu 1893, komwe kuli Ghirardelli Square lero.Modabwitsa, idapulumuka chivomezi cha 1906, kubwereranso kubizinesi patatha masiku 10 okha.Masiku ake ngati bizinesi yaying'ono, yakunyumba ku San Francisco adapita kale, komabe: Tsopano kampaniyo ndi ya Lindt, chimphona chapadziko lonse lapansi, ndipo chokoleti chake ndi chokoma komanso chochuluka chopangidwa m'malo ake ku San Leandro.

Chomwe sichidziwika bwino ndi chakuti San Francisco ndi kwawo kwa imodzi mwamafakitole akale kwambiri a chokoleti okhala ndi mabanja mdziko muno: Guittard, yomwe yakwanitsa kudziyimira pawokha komanso kusintha kwazaka zambiri.Kampaniyo idakhazikitsidwa mu 1868, zaka 16 zokha kuchokera Ghirardelli, ndipo aliyense wakhala akusokoneza ma G woyambirira kuyambira pamenepo.Etienne ("Eddy") Guittard anali mlendo waku France yemwe adabwera mochedwa pang'ono, ndipo m'malo mwake adapeza chuma chake mubizinesi yogaya, kusunga antchito aku migodi mu khofi, tiyi, ndi chokoleti.Fakitale yake yoyambirira ku Sansome inapsa ndi chivomezicho, ndipo banjali linamanganso pa Main, pafupi ndi m’mphepete mwa nyanja pamene zombozo zinkatsitsa nyemba.Kupanga njira yaulere, fakitaleyo idasamukira ku Burlingame mu 1954, ndipo ikuyendetsedwa ndi m'badwo wachinayi ndi wachisanu wabanja lero.

Gary Guittard, pulezidenti wamakono komanso m'badwo wachinayi wa banjali, amakumbukirabe kuti ankayendayenda fakitale yakale ya Main ali ndi zaka 6, kuthamangitsa mchimwene wake m'nyumba yopapatiza komanso yokhotakhota ya njerwa yansanjika zitatu, ndikunyengedwa kuti alawe zowawa. chokoleti chakumwa.Zinali zabwino kwambiri.Ndikapereka chilichonse kuti ndikhale ndi [nyumbayo] lero," akutero Guittard.“Kodi mungayerekeze?Kunali mdima osati waukulu ngakhale pang’ono.Nthawi zambiri ndimakumbukira fungo.Tinawotcha pansanjika yachitatu, ndi fungo la malowo.”

Koma ngakhale chokoleti cha ku America chakhala chikutayidwa ndi dziko lonse lapansi chifukwa chokhala ndi mkaka wambiri komanso wotsekemera, Scharffen Berger anawotcha m'tawuni kumapeto kwa zaka chikwi ndikuchita upainiya wa chokoleti chakuda chapakhomo chomwe chinali cholimba komanso chokoma.Robert Steinberg, dokotala wakale, ndi John Scharffenberger, wopanga vinyo, adayambitsa kampaniyo mu 1997, akubweretsa m'kamwa mwa oenophile ku bizinesi.Mosiyana ndi omwe amapanga kale, iwo adatenga chokoleti mozama ngati vinyo.Scharffen Berger adayamba kuwotcha ndi kupera nyemba m'timagulu ting'onoting'ono, kutulutsa kununkhira kwakuda komanso kodabwitsa.Zachidziwikire, kampaniyo imati inali yoyamba kuyika maperesenti a koko pa zilembo, makamaka ku United States, zomwe zikutsogolera dziko lonse.

Scharffenberger adapanga mabwenzi amalingaliro ofanana nawo pachiwonetsero cha chokoleti chakumaloko.Michael Recchiuti ndi confectioner wakomweko yemwe sadzipangira yekha chokoleti, koma amasungunula ndikuupanga kukhala ma truffles ndi ma confections, ukatswiri wapadera.(“Ku France, ndingatchedwe munthu wosungulumwa,” akufotokoza momveka bwino.) Anayamba bizinesi yake chaka chomwecho ndi Scharffen Berger, kugulitsa makeke okoma ndi chilichonse kuyambira pafamu-mwatsopano mandimu verbena mpaka tsabola pinki pa Ferry Building. .Pamene akukhazikitsa shopu, atamva zomwe Scharffenberger anali kuchita."Ndinali ngati, ndizozizira kwambiri, palibe amene amapanga chokoleti," akutero."Zili ngati pepala lakuchimbudzi - aliyense amangotenga chokoleti mopepuka.Palibe amene amaganizira kwenikweni za kumene ikuchokera.”Recchiuti akuti sadzayiwala pomwe Scharffenberger adawonekera pakhomo pake ndi imodzi mwazakudya zazikulu za chokoleti kuti amupatse kukoma kwamphamvu.

"John Scharffenberger atabwera, zidasinthadi nzeru zathu," akutero Guittard."Zinanditsegula maso pa kukoma kwa chokoleti."Guittard anazindikira kuti ngati kampani ya agogo ake idzapikisana nawo m'zaka chikwi zikubwerazi, iyenera kusinthika.Anayamba kuwuluka kupita ku Ecuador, Jamaica, ndi Madagascar kuti akakumane ndi alimi, komwe nthawi zina amakumana ndi Steinberg pama eyapoti akutali.Akuti zinamutengera zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi kapena zisanu ndi ziwiri kuti adziwe momwe angapangire chokoleti chabwino."Tidasintha chilichonse: nthawi, kutentha, kukoma.Tidaphunzitsanso gulu lonse ndikuyika magawo olimba kwambiri pa sitepe iliyonse, kuti titulutse zabwino kwambiri panyemba iliyonse.Timasintha ndi nyemba, chifukwa simungathe kuwotcha ndikupera Ecuador ngati Madagascar.Zimatengera zomwe nyemba imakonda."

Zaka makumi awiri pambuyo pake, Dandelion Chokoleti ndiye chowunikira chotsatira, chotenga kukoma kwa chokoleti kolimba ndikuchipanga kukhala mbiri yosiyana.Dandelion idatsegula malo ake atsopano owoneka bwino pa 16th Street chaka chatha, ndipo imalemekeza miyambo yamafakitale a chokoleti omwe adabwera patsogolo pake, yodzaza ndi njerwa zowonekera, matabwa akulu ndi mkuwa.Koma chidwi cha Dandelion ndi chiyambi chimodzi: Chokoleti chilichonse, chokulungidwa ngati tikiti yagolide, chimakhala ndi mtundu umodzi wa nyemba kuchokera kumalo enaake.Dandelion amagwiritsa ntchito nyemba za cacao ndi shuga, kotero palibe chomwe chingasokoneze kukoma kwa nyemba.Mosiyana ndi opanga akuluakulu, monga Hershey's kapena Ghirardelli, omwe amakoka nyemba zawo zambiri kuchokera ku Africa, amaziwotcha zonse pa kutentha komweko, ndikuyika zowonjezera zambiri kuti ziwoneke bwino, ndi njira yowonjezereka bwino kwambiri.Ndipo kuwonjezera pa kuyika maperesenti pa zilembo, akuwonjezera zolemba zokometsera, kuchokera ku brownies ndi nthochi kupita ku zipatso zofiira ndi fodya wa sultry.

"Pali zokometsera zambiri zomwe ndimayamba kugwira nazo ntchito," akutero chef Lisa Vega, yemwe amapanga zakudya zonse zamchere mu lesitilanti ndi sitolo.“Mwachitsanzo, titi mukufuna kupanga chitumbuwa cha maapulo.Mumapita kumsika wa alimi ndikuyesa maapulo onse osiyanasiyana, omwe ali ndi zolemba zosiyanasiyana zokometsera ndi mawonekedwe ake, kaya ndi tart kapena crunchy.Mumapeza chokoleti mwanjira imeneyi, mukamapeza zoyambira zosiyanasiyana izi. ”Ngati mudakhalapo ndi mabwalo a chokoleti amkaka a Ghirardelli, kuluma koyamba kwa Dandelion bar ndizochitika zosiyana kwambiri.Dandelion akufotokoza kukoma kwa bala yopangidwa kuchokera kumalo amodzi ku Costa Rica kukhala ndi "zolemba za golden caramel, ganache, ndi waffle cone."Wina, wochokera ku Madagascar, amatulutsa zipatso za tart, monga "cheesekeke ya raspberry ndi zest ya mandimu."

Ghirardelli ndi Scharffen Berger tsopano onse ali ndi makampani akuluakulu, Ghirardelli ndi Lindt ndi Scharffen Berger ndi Hershey's.(Robert Steinberg anamwalira mu 2008 ali ndi zaka 61, patapita zaka zingapo John Scharffenberger atagulitsa kampaniyo, mu 2005.) Guittard ndi Dandelion akupitiriza mwambo wamba."Inemwini, ndikumva kuti makampani ambiri opanga nyemba akupanga zomwe [Scharffenberger] adachita," akutero Guittard."Ndikuganiza kuti Dandelion ndiwongogulitsa komanso malo odyera, omwe ndi abwino kwa chokoleti, ndipo ndi abwino kuti anthu amvetsetse bwino ntchitoyi."Pamtima pa Dandelion Factory, Bloom Chocolate Salon ndi malo odyera omwe amapereka chakudya cham'mawa, tiyi wamadzulo, mikate ya chokoleti, ndege ya ayisikilimu, komanso chokoleti yotentha.Ngati Scharffenberger anali trailblazer, Dandelion potsirizira pake akubweretsa chidwi chochuluka ku lusoli, kusonyeza kupanga chokoleti mu fakitale yomwe imakhala yowonekera kwenikweni, ndi mawindo a galasi omwe amalola makasitomala kuyang'ana njira yopangira bar.

Kubwerera m'zaka mazana ambiri, pali njira zambiri zosangalalira mbiri ya chokoleti ya San Francisco: kukumba mu fudge sundae ku Ghirardelli Square, kuphika gulu la brownies ndi mabwalo amdima a Scharffen Berger, kupanga makeke ndi tchipisi ta chokoleti cha Guittard. , kapena kusangalala ndi mipiringidzo ya Dandelion yopangidwa kuchokera ku nyemba zozungulira equator.Ndipo ngati mukufuna bokosi la chokoleti kwa wokondedwa wanu kapena nokha, mutha kupita kukaona Recchiuti ku Ferry Building.Recchiuti, monga ophika chokoleti ambiri ndi ophika makeke, amakonda Valrhona, mtundu waku France womwe ndi muyezo wagolide m'makhitchini apamwamba.Koma amachitanso chidwi ndi Guittard, yomwe imagulitsanso malo ena odyera ochepa, ophika buledi, ndi zokometsera, kuphatikiza a Bambo Jiu, Che Fico, Jane Bakery, ndi Bi-Rite Creamery.

“Ophika buledi ambiri a m’nyumba amatidziŵa kupyolera m’kanjira kophikira,” akutero Amy Guittard, amene akugwirizana ndi atate wake monga mbadwo wachisanu wa banja."Koma ndimanena nthawi zonse, mwina mukudya chokoleti chathu kuposa momwe mukudziwira."

Mukulimbikira kuti mupeze mphatso ya Valentine yomaliza?Nawa malingaliro asanu ndi awiri okhala ndi chokoleti omwe adapangidwa kuno ku San Francisco.Bonasi: Onse ali ndi zolongedza zokongola.
