Salon Celebrates the Fine Art of Chocolate
Christina Troup, SF Examiner 03/19/09

"good chocolate should have depth, complexity, flavor notes and mouth-feel, says Doerr. I personally like to eat chocolate with a higher percentage of cacao."

 

The SF Chocolate Salon: The Good the Bad and the Guy in the Top Hat
Sara Desaran, 7x7 Magazine Bits + Bites 03/05/09

"these are my new favorite truffles "handcrafted in San Francisco." Christine Doerr started out at the Stanford Shopping Center at the Cocolat retail shop (all hail Alice Medrich), went on to the CCA, became a pastry chef, went to design school, worked as a graphic designer and of course, chocolate called her back! Good thing it did."

 

Valentine Chocolates that Spread the Love
Janet Flecher, Deb Wandell & Amanda Gold, SF Chronicle 02/08/09

"Like many others, Christine Doerr started out making her truffles as a hobby for family and friends. They were a hit, and now, backed by San Francisco's La Cocina, an incubator kitchen that helps low-income women launch food-related businesses, her Neo Cocoa brand has hit Bay Area shelves."
