Hop onto a Chocolate-filled Joy Ride

Here is some good news for allΒ chocoholics,Β chocolateΒ aficionados and people who celebrate food ! Let me ask you this – How often have you longed for those exoticΒ chocolateΒ bites while sitting home or at workplace, or maybe just have had that urge to explore new, indulgent flavors every time a flashy food-channel showed up during your television skimming regimeΒ ? If the answer is anywhere upward of “at times”, read on to have these cravings fulfilled and soothe your palateΒ via an online platform calledΒ PlaceofOrigin.inΒ –Β Γ  laΒ Charlie and the Chocolate factoryΒ !

Β 

In an era of thriving e-commerce,Β PlaceofOriginΒ creates its own niche by being India’s first marketplace forΒ specialtyΒ Indian foods, regional and ethnic specialties- following a producer-to-end customer format, it delivers delicacies hassle-free at the doorstep. The idea is to connectΒ “places” of origin (offering legendary food products) which are oftenΒ far-off from spaces where we live. Surely you would have heard about the famedΒ OotyΒ chocolatesΒ from the land ofΒ NilgiriΒ Hills or old-school bitterΒ dark chocolates ofΒ Auroville, not to forgetΒ HimalayanΒ food fare , but have you tried them yet? That precisely is what this website helps us do !

Vis-a-visΒ sweet savories, the site offers a range that extends from chocolates, cakes and confectionery sweets to brownies and biscuits. The brand list is quite eclectic with names likeΒ Mason & Co, Sleight of Hands,Β Moddy’sΒ Ooty, Bean Therapy, Earth Loaf, Β NordicΒ KandieΒ and others . Prices vary from a low of Β β‚ΉΒ 120 to the premiumΒ β‚Ή2000+ bracket, so there is much to choose from.Β But what impressed me was the vastΒ array of chocolateΒ variety, to suit people’s wide-ranging Β palate, preferences and tastes . Take a look :

  • Gluten-freeΒ andΒ Organic–Β ones for the health-conscious-yet-sin-lovingΒ millennial
  • Vegan chocolateΒ for the strictly vegetarian folks
  • Lactose-freeΒ andΒ Nut-freeΒ chocolates to ensure one does not miss out on delicacies due to any sort of allergy
  • Citrus-basedΒ for the tang-lovers
  • DarkΒ andΒ MilkΒ chocolates that areΒ evergreenΒ favorites

There are also Β a myriad concoctions and flavors , and some of what I could gather include cacao, cinnamon, cream, cashew, Β coconut, orange, apricot, almond, truffle, fruit nuts and even chilly .Β With so much on offer, it doesΒ makeΒ senseΒ to make a dash for a highly indulgent, chocolaty experience ahead. Also check out some snapshots from the website to set theΒ ballΒ rollingΒ πŸ™‚ BonΒ AppetitΒ !
