Unique qualities

The company produces many unique flavor combinations, many of which were inspired by Markoff's global travels, including Red Fire Chocolat, made with Mexican chilis, cinnamon and dark chocolate, Black Pearl Chocolat, made with ginger, black sesame seeds and dark chocolate, and Mo's Milk Chocolate Bacon Bar.'' A novelty at the time, it started a trend.

The company features different gourmet chocolates at their Chicago and New York City boutiques.

Critical praise

Vosges offers flavors including Red Fire Toffee, Red Fire Spice, and a Oaxaca blend that have been praised as being "beautifully presented and made from the finest cacao and spices in the world." Huffington Post's reviewers also gave the chocolates high marks, noting the unusual offerings, such as Wild Tuscan Fennel Pollen, with Floral Anise, and Ginger plus Fresh Wasabi, with Black Sesame Seeds.

Vosges Haut-Chocolat blends the culinary diversities of the world with a passion for chocolate. An impressive array of choices, from truffles to bars to caramels, melds chocolate with international spice markets. Just one box of truffles can transport the taster around the globe: to Hungary through the Budapest, flavored with sweet Hungarian paprika; to France with the Absinthe, flavored with star anise, fennel, and Pastis; and to points beyond. -- The Nibble
