This may sound odd but, trust me, it's not! Brunost or Gjetost (yeh-toast), Norway’s beloved brown cheese, isn’t really cheese in the traditional sense. Made by boiling whey—the byproduct of cheesemaking—until the milk sugars caramelize, it transforms into a rich, caramel-like block with a deep butterscotch flavour and a texture that sticks to the roof of your mouth. Like an extra nutty Gouda but smooth to slice, it carries a sweet tang from the goat’s milk. More than a culinary staple, Brunost is a piece of Norwegian heritage. In this bar, it's also combined with North Sea sea salt and organic direct trade Haitian cocoa to create a delightful, caramelly treat.

Fjåk brings the wild heart of Norway to the global craft chocolate stage. Tucked deep in the Hardangerfjord (the fifth longest fjord in the world), nestled amongst the mountainous interior of Norway, this female-owned gem, helmed by Agurtxane and Siv, is rewriting the chocolate rulebook with a distinctly Nordic twist. They scour the rugged Norwegian landscape, foraging berries, mushrooms, and herbs that breathe life into their Nordic Collection—bars using entirely organic, ethically traded, single origin cocoa. The name “Fjåk,” plucked from the local Hardanger dialect, means “loveable” or “honest,” a nod to both their approach and the fact we all love chocolate!

Cap-Haïtien, located on Haiti's northern coast, is a prominent port city with a consistently warm and humid tropical climate. It stands as Haiti's principal hub for historic landmarks, most notably the Citadelle Laferrière, a UNESCO World Heritage Site emblematic of the nation's independence. The city's picturesque bay, beaches, and historical sites have made it a popular resort destination, especially among Haiti's upper classes. The coastal setting enriches Cap-Haïtien's vibrant local cuisine, featuring fresh seafood and tropical fruits. Following the 2010 earthquake, which heavily impacted Port-au-Prince, Cap-Haïtien’s port became crucial for relief efforts, and the city's relatively undamaged infrastructure has attracted businesses and residents relocating from the capital.
