Spicy meets fruity : a soft melting ginger ganache, made from fresh gingerroot, combined with quince jelly. 
Qinger and quince harmonise perfectly with the fruity taste of the Callebaut Origine "Madagascar" dark chocolate. The full taste develops after eating and stays for a while - like a good perfume does.
