Have you checked out the blog at Fooducopia?

Fooducopia.com is an online marketplace for buying some really unique artisanal foods. It caught our eye early on, and one of the neat things about the Fooducopia blog is that they like to feature up and coming artisans.

We're so pleased to say that recently, the staff at Fooducopia chose to honor Kartika and euforia with a feature! It is called "Simple Ingredients Meet Old World Legacy." Please have a look when you get a chance!

Also, be sure to check out euforia's whole new line of retail products. They are amazing!

Mille Crêpe vs. euforia™ Thousand-Layer Cake

Mille crêpe lovers, have you tried euforia Thousand-Layer Cake? euforia is a layer cake, similar to mille crêpe yet altogether different. Still, if you are into gourmet food, you ought to add euforia to your list of cakes to try.

Mille Crêpe
Like many delicious gourmet foods, mille crêpe is priced highly, however, much of the cost of purchasing mille crêpe is due to how it must be shipped. Mille crêpe is a delicate cake, since it is made with a lot of a large portion of cream, and it will spoil fast if not refrigerated. It has to be shipped overnight, and companies have to use a lot of special packaging material to maintain the cake's shape and optimum temperature insulation.

Kopi Luwak Indonesian Coffee & euforia cake - SFFS Recap

Have you heard of civet coffee or kopi luwak? It is the most expensive coffee in the world, it is sold around $100-$600 per pound, and it is mainly produce in Indonesia. (see wikipedia for more info). This coffee has to pass the civet digestive system, before it is fermented, cleaned and ready to be roasted. One of the staff at the booth showed how the coffee bean looked like when it is freshly processed by the civet.



My fellow Indonesian, Felix Tanzil, who just started his company, Nagadi Coffee, is selling various kinds of coffee, which is sourced from Indonesia, the world largest producer for robusta bean. He brings in fresh coffee from Indonesia and roast the coffee in United States, so the consumer will experienced a fresh roasted coffee. He also carries kopi luwak.



As you can see in the photo, he was offering free coffee drinks and samples at the Summer Fancy Food Show. Luckily, I had the opportunity to taste kopi luwak. I hated coffee until I had the kopi luwak. To me, coffee was simply a bitter drink with burnt aroma. But I like mocha.
