The history of chocolate covered strawberries dates back to the 1960s when a gourmet food shop in the United States first introduced them. The combination of juicy strawberries dipped in rich, velvety chocolate quickly gained popularity, becoming a staple at weddings, parties, and romantic occasions. The addition of a sprinkle of sea salt adds a delightful contrast of flavors, enhancing the sweetness of the chocolate and the natural tartness of the strawberries. Renowned chefs like Jacques Torres and Francois Payard have elevated this classic treat, incorporating high-quality chocolate and hand-selected strawberries. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in artisanal chocolate shops and upscale dessert boutiques, where attention to detail and premium ingredients are paramount. When making chocolate covered strawberries at home, it's crucial to use ripe, plump strawberries and high-quality chocolate to achieve the perfect balance of flavors.
