A little about the chocolate…

The chocolate sculpture of Dr. Ron Paul is made from 65 % pure, dark chocolate.  All the ingredients are from the finest sources available making this not only a work of art, but a gourmet treat.  The chocolate used is called ‘single bean chocolate’ which means that all the cacao beans used in this are grown at a single location.  In this case, that location is Mangaro—one of the finest chocolate plantations on the planet.  The cacao beans are organically produced and fairly traded.  All the other ingredients in the chocolate sculpture are organically produced.

To create this sculpture, Chef Eric started by tempering 38 pounds of solid chocolate and allowing it to set in a cylindrical shape.  Once it cooled, he began carving it to the shape of a human head.  Upon completion, it should weigh in at just over 15 pounds.  It will be a life-sized head and neck of our favorite presidential candidate, Dr. Ron Paul.  From beginning to end, Eric plans to spend about 125 hours on this project.
