Meat-Flavored Chocolate

Meat-Flavored Chocolate AG WORLD Imagine putting a juicy steak and a hunk of chocolate in a blender That’s what New Zealand food scientist Dr Mustafa Farouk did and he says the meat-flavored chocolate tastes great Dr Farouk partnered with Devonport Chocolates a maker of luxurious hand-made New Zealand chocolates He started with a very lean cut of fine beef and turned it into a smooth buttery mixture Devonport Chocolates then combined the beef with their ingredients at about a 50/50 ratio Consumers can tell it’s not regular chocolate but the taste of meat is almost impossible to detect While the flavor has been described as “wonderful” people are understandably hesitant about a unique dessert that’s 50 percent beef Farouk says all it takes is a few bites of the rich chocolate to win people over The new meat chocolate isn’t on shelves yet but Farouk says it will be marketed locally and internationally Dr Farouk and his team at New Zealand’s AgResearch have all sorts of interesting uses for meat including ice cream mousse icings for cupcakes gnocchi bread and yogurt Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Dr Mustafa Farouk Ag Research New Zealand mustafa farouk@agresearch co nz
