Origin & Craftsmanship
This bar is crafted by Allo Simonne in Montréal using cacao beans from southeastern Mexico, supplied by the small-holders of Agrofloresta Mesoamericana, an organization of over 200 cocoa-growing families. The beans are carefully roasted, and then blended with Quebec maple sugar, reflecting the maker’s commitment to high-quality, local ingredients, organic certification, and bean-to-bar integrity. 

Flavor Profile
Maple · Mexico 68% is sweetened naturally with pure maple sugar, giving it warm notes of maple syrup and toasted bread. The chocolate is balanced—there’s richness and depth from the Mexican cacao, with woody undertones and just enough sea salt to heighten the flavors without overwhelming them. 

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a piece melt slowly on your tongue so the first taste of maple syrup sweetness emerges, followed by toasted bread and gentle woody tones. The cacao depth unfolds, rounded out by a mineral hint from the sea salt. Pair with a light herbal tea—such as rooibos or mint—to echo the woody-maple flavors without adding too much sweetness. For a wine match, try a mellow amber beer or a dessert wine like Madeira to amplify maple’s richness. A side of toasted pecans or a slice of buttered brioche makes a wonderful contrast in texture and sweetness.

Summary

The Maple · Mexico 68% bar by Allo Simonne blends the warmth of Quebec maple with bold Mexican cacao in a thoughtfully constructed bean-to-bar experience. Organic, rich, and nuanced, it’s perfect for those who appreciate a dark chocolate with character, sweetness that’s natural, and ingredients you can pronounce.

Vegan, Dairy-free

Founded in 2018 in Montreal, Allo Simonne is the brainchild of two Belgians: Quentin Ryckaert and Vincent Coja. Their partnership began in their native Belgium—Quentin with a background in pastry and chocolate from the Hotel Management School in Namur, and Vincent after years in the construction industry. Their shared passion for high-quality, artisanal confections inspired them to enter the chocolate world together.

The brand name is a heartfelt tribute to Quentin’s grandmother, Simonne Allo—a modern woman with a taste for the finer things and a love of sharing. That spirit continues to infuse the brand’s products and philosophy.

Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and strong odors. Store at maximum
18 ° C in its original packaging

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.

To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.

On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
