Scared of Thorns

The Best of Atticus, p. 173


"What if she says no?"
asked the boy,
and the man smiled,
"best not to live scared of thorns
or you'll never find a rose."

The Bon-spiration

Roses and thorns have been epic creative material for centuries! Here we amplify that friendly, floral sweetness of a rose petal infused ganache with the lightest heat of a very light pepper — white pepper. Peppercorns are something that we use often and watch for a different reason. If you’re ever bored on a weekday, we recommend this topic for scrolling research. White pepper is actually black pepper with the skin removed and it lends a milder, smoother spice experience which still allows the floral middle notes to dance freely while accented by the astringency and floralness of our Arriba Nacional cacao.
