BLONDE Chocolates - 39%+ L'Odalisque Blonde

SELEUSS CHOCOLATES - The Blonde Odalisque (l’odalisque blonde) 1752: a painting by Francois Boucher of a young irish girl, named Marie-louise o’murphy. Casanova was so struck by her beauty, he had a portrait painted of her as well, with the inscription “o-morphi”, a modern greek pun on her name ὄμορφη, “BEAUTIFUL”.  Between a white and a milk chocolate, with tastes of fresh butter scotch, we think you too will find this blonde bar beautiful! 

https://www.wga.hu/html_m/b/boucher/2/o_murph.html

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie-Louise_O%27Murphy 

Marie-Louise O'Murphy (French pronunciation: ​[ma.ʁi.lwiz ɔ‿.myʁ.fi]; also variously called Mademoiselle de Morphy, La Belle Morphise, Louise Morfi or Marie-Louise Morphy de Boisfailly; 21 October 1737 – 11 December 1814) was one of the lesser mistresses (petites maîtresses) of King Louis XV of France, and a model for the famous painting of François Boucher.

Contemporary and modern historiography concur in identifying Marie-Louise O'Murphy as the very young model who posed for the la Jeune Fille allongée (the lying Girl), of François Boucher,[7] a painting famous for its undisguised eroticism, dating from 1752. Two versions of this painting have survived, both conserved in Germany, one in the Alte Pinakothek at Munich and the other in the Wallraf-Richartz Museum at Cologne. Boucher, at the height of his fame, had made a specialty of these deliberately licentious nudes, represented in lascivious poses outside a mythological context. La Jeune Fille allongée, also known as l'Odalisque blonde (the Blonde Odalisque), echoes to the also erotic Odalisque brune (Brown Odalisque), painted around 1745, whose several copies are kept at the Louvre or the Museum of Fine Arts, Rheims.

In his Histoire de ma vie (vol. 3, chap. 11), Giacomo Casanova relates that he found her "a pretty, ragged, dirty, little creature” of thirteen years in the house of her actress sister. Struck by her beauty when seeing her naked, however, he had a nude portrait of her painted, with the inscription “O-Morphi” (punning her name with Modern Greek ὄμορφη, “beautiful”), a copy of which found its way to King Louis XV, who then asked to see if the original corresponded with the painting:

The skilled artist had drawn her legs and thighs so that the eye could not wish to see more. There I write below: O-Morphi wasn’t a Homeric or either Greek word. Was simply mean Beautiful.

[8]

In his account of those events, which were written many years later, the Venetian seducer seeks to obtain the central role, even though he was perhaps only a partial witness. He did not specifically cite Boucher and seems rather, in the evening of his life, to have recorded this episode from gossip and pamphlets which circulated very freely in Europe at the end of the 18th century. Other sources are more accurate.

Police inspector Jean Meunier echoes in his diary another version of the facts, that circulates in the months following the meeting of Louis XV and Marie-Louise O'Murphy. On 8 May 1753 he wrote very specifically:

They say that the youngest Morfi, fourth sister and therefore the youngest served as a model of the Boucher painting, he painted her naked and gave or sold the painting to Monsieur de Vandières

(brother of

Madame de Pompadour

)

and when the King saw it, became intrigued if the painter hadn’t flattered the model, so he asked to see the youngest Morfi, and after their meeting, he found her even better that the painting.

BLONDE Chocolates - L'Odalisque Blonde Truffles & Pots de Ganache

SELEUSS CHOCOLATES - Introducing our "L'Odalisque Blonde" Chocolate Truffles and Petit Pots de Ganache.  The ganache is made with our own 42%+ Blonde Chocolate and fresh local organic cream, while in truffle form, the ganache is covered in two layers of dark chocolate (52% & 74%+ Moretta Satin) and topped with organic sucanat.  

The Blonde chocolate is often confused with caramel, but rather, its created via the Maillard Reaction, a reaction between the milk amino acids and the reducing sugars under heat, giving it its color and distinctive flavors of fresh butter scotch!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maillard_reaction

Our Blonde Chocolate, L'Odalisque Blonde or The Blond Odalisque is named after the famous 1752 painting by Francois Boucher of a young Irish girl, named Marie-louise o’murphy. Casanova was so struck by her beauty, he had a portrait painted of her as well, with the inscription “o-morphi”, a modern greek pun on her name ὄμορφη, “BEAUTIFUL”.  Between a white and a milk chocolate, with tastes of fresh butter scotch, we think you too will find this blonde bar beautiful!
