Swiss chocolate

Occasionally, something comes across the Food Desk that we can honestly say we've never seen.

Then again, we never looked too hard for a bar of gourmet rhubarb and aloe vera white chocolate.

That concoction - and many others, including hot chilli pepper chocolate - are part of Swiss chocolatier Frey's first foray into the U.S. market.

The company, a Swiss treat since 1887, is teaming with Target for the launch.

Stores nationwide are stocking 3½-ounce bars of Citron and Poivre, White Blueberry, Pecan and Caramel, Bouquet D'Oranges, Café and Cacao, and 10½-ounce bars of Swiss dark and Swiss milk chocolate.

To get the rhubarb or any of the other five flavors of Swiss Reserve, you'll have to drive a bit. They're available at four Target stores in the state, including locations in Charlottesville and Fredericksburg. For more details and a list of those locations, see www.chocolat-frey.com.
