From Stony Brook to Salon du Chocolat NYC

February 28, 2026

There are times when your work brings you exactly where you’re meant to be.

From our tasting table in Stony Brook to the floor of Salon du Chocolat NYC, this journey continues — rooted in craft, curiosity, and conversation.

Next weekend, Chocology will be at Salon du Chocolat NYC, the world’s most celebrated chocolate event, joining producers, chocolatiers, pastry chefs, and chocolate lovers from around the globe.

Salon is more than tastings.

It is agriculture.
It is craft.
It is community.

It is where cocoa producers and chocolate makers stand side by side — sharing knowledge, honoring the fruit, and celebrating the people behind it all.

That spirit of craft and conversation continues in my Taste & Learn: Wine & Chocolate session on Sunday at 1PM.

Wine and chocolate are both fruit.

Both are transformed by fermentation.

Both express their region.

When tasted intentionally, they reveal structure, transformation, and harmony. During the session, we’ll be pairing two of our longtime favorites with Banfi Italian wines:

Castronovo White Salted Lemon 

Amano Raspberry Rose 

Sip.
Taste.
Sip again.

Notice how the wine sharpens, then softens.
Notice how sweetness integrates.
Notice how structure shifts.

If you’re attending Salon, please stop by and say hello at Booth 115.

At Chocology, we believe:

White isn’t wrong.
Milk isn’t basic.
Not all 77%’s are the same.

Because we’ll be representing at Salon, our shop hours will adjust slightly next week:

Tuesday–Thursday: 12PM–4PM
Closed Friday, Saturday & Sunday (March 6–8)

We reopen Monday, March 9 at noon and then return to regular hours.

DON'T MISS OUT!

If you’re thinking of joining us, you can receive 20% off tickets using our code: CHOCOLOGY.

I would truly love to see you there.

Whether you visit us at Booth 115, join the Taste & Learn session, come see us at the shop, or simply continue following along from afar, thank you.

Your curiosity, your support, and your willingness to taste with intention make this journey possible.

From Stony Brook to Salon du Chocolat NYC — the conversation continues.

Warmly,
Linda

Exciting News from Chocology: Salon du Chocolat New York Is Coming This March!

November 30, 2025

Exciting News from Chocology: Salon du Chocolat New York Is Coming This March!

Being part of the Advisory Council for Salon du Chocolat New York has been one of the sweetest honors of my year. This show is the premier chocolate event in New York — and the largest in the United States. It brings together some of the most talented chefs, master chocolatiers, pastry artists, and cocoa visionaries from around the globe.

Last year I left inspired by the craftsmanship, storytelling, and heart that goes into fine chocolate. This March will be no exception — in fact, it will be the best one yet.


✨ Why Salon du Chocolat Is So Special

Salon du Chocolat is much more than a show. It’s a full day of:

  • Tasting extraordinary chocolates from around the world

  • Watching live demos from celebrated pastry chefs

  • Meeting bean-to-bar makers and hearing their stories

  • Enjoying chocolate-inspired fashion, art, and interactive exhibits

  • Discovering new flavors, new makers, and new favorite bars

If you love chocolate (and of course you do!), this event is an unforgettable experience.


🎟 A Sweet Deal: Buy One, Get One Free

I’m sharing this now because I want my Chocology community to hear about an amazing, limited-time offer:

Salon du Chocolat New York is running a Buy One, Get One Free ticket deal all weekend long.

It’s their way of making the show more accessible so more people can enjoy the magic.

👉 The deal ends Monday at 11:59 p.m.
👉 When it’s gone… it’s gone!

This is the perfect opportunity to bring a chocolate-loving friend, spouse, colleague, or family member for a full day of chocolate and fun.


💛 Let’s Celebrate Together

As we celebrate 10 years of Chocology, being part of the Advisory Council feels especially meaningful. I can’t wait to help bring the world of fine chocolate even closer to New York — and support the makers and creators who inspire us every day.

If you plan to attend, please let me know — I’d love to meet you there!

Stay sweet,
Linda
Advisory Council Member, Salon du Chocolat NYC

Ten Years of Chocology: A Decade of Sweet Connections

August 31, 2025

Last week I spoke with my first corporate client from a decade ago—and moments later an order arrived from one of our very first fudge customers. It hit me: wow, it’s been more than ten years. In that time I’ve watched families grow, babies arrive, and new chapters begin—reminding me that Chocology is a bridge between people, not just a business. Our RED values—Relationships, Education, and Distinction—have guided every tasting and class. Five months after we opened our Stony Brook shop, the world changed, and we adapted—launching an online farmers market with 40+ partners to deliver comfort and care. Success isn’t always loud; it’s the quiet courage to show up and lift others, one small act at a time.

Let's Savor the Flavors of Summer Together

July 02, 2024

Summer is in full swing here at Chocology, and it’s all about flowers and fruit. We’re doing it all, from cracking open fresh cacao pods and tasting the fruit inside—yes, cacao is a fruit!—to fruity and floral wine and chocolate pairings.

Last Saturday we had a blast tasting Hawaiian Tropical Smoothies here at the shop made with fresh cacao fruit. Everyone who came in loved the experience. Some people enjoyed the raw cacao, while others didn't, describing it as sweet, tangy, and slightly citrusy, reminiscent of lychee or mango. However, everyone adored the tropical smoothie we made from it! It was a burst of fresh, tropical sweetness, perfect for a hot Long Island day.

 

Some serious planning was underway for our Chocolate, Wine + Cheese Pairing Event (7/7)

Unexpected Chocolate and Wine Pairing Experiences — Fruity + Floral

Join us Sunday, July 7th, at Suhru Winery for a decadent afternoon of guided wine, chocolate, and cheese pairings. This pairing has been inspired by beautiful, full-bloom fruity wines paired with floral and fruity chocolates. We’ll explore several creative ways to pair these delightful treats.

Imagine this: You savor a piece of Lemon and Sea Salt White Chocolate, its creamy sweetness and zesty lemon notes melting in your mouth, balanced perfectly by a hint of sea salt. As you take a sip of LIEB Viognier, the wine's rich, floral aromas and vibrant fruit flavors enhance the chocolate's citrusy tang. Next, you pair it with a slice of creamy French Brie, the cheese's buttery texture and delicate flavor adding a luxurious finish to this exquisite trio. The combination evokes feelings of joy and renewal, creating a symphony of flavors that delight your taste buds.

Contact me to reserve your spot.

Discover the Art of Chocolate and Cheese Pairings

May 24, 2024

Events, Oh my!

Last month, my schedule was packed with events, including three chocolate and cheese pairings, all of which received fantastic feedback. It's become a tradition for us to showcase our favorite pairings on the Pairing Wall in our shop after each event. This month, I'm thrilled to share some of these standout combinations with all of you.

Pairing chocolate and cheese might seem unconventional at first, but when done right, it can create magical flavor combinations.
I'll start by saying, as I do with every pairing, "Everyone has a different palate, and I encourage you to explore, play with your food, or experiment to find YOUR perfect pairing.”
We always kick things off with our

Tasting Ritual

Then, I introduced a standout: Chocolate-Covered Parmesan. It's a simple yet striking combination—dip small pieces of Parmesan cheese in melted dark chocolate and let them cool until the chocolate hardens. The marriage of salty Parmesan and rich chocolate offers a unique flavor experience.

This month's 

Pairing Favorites

White Chocolate Salted Nuts paired with Parmigiano Reggiano—salty and savory perfection. This pairing was inspired by my visit to meet Venchi Chocolate Master, Giovanni Battista Mantelli (GB), and it's truly magical. We recently paired it with a Sparkling Brut, and the result was phenomenal!

 

 

Another standout is Milk Bacio DiDama and Robiolo. The smooth and sweet milk chocolate with the crunchy biscuit bottom compliments the spreadable and bloomy Robiolo cheese beautifully. Baci Di Dama, meaning "Lady’s kisses," adds an extra layer of delight with its hazelnut biscuit and chocolate sandwich.
Finally, Dark chocolate and Point Reyes Blue Cheese offer a rich and delicious flavor combination. The strong bitterness of dark chocolate pairs wonderfully with the salty taste of blue cheese, creating a symphony for the taste buds.
Whether you prefer the sweet and creamy notes of milk chocolate with Brie or the intense bitterness of dark chocolate with blue cheese, there's a pairing to suit every taste preference.
If you're in the area, swing by the shop and indulge in one of these delightful pairings with us! Have you had the chance to experience any of these delicious combinations yet? Do you have a favorite pairing that you swear by?
