Origin & Craftsmanship
Handmade in Montréal, Canada, this bar is part of Allo Simonne’s craft chocolate collection. It combines rich hazelnut praliné with dark Jaguar chocolate (Theobroma bicolor), then is coated in dark chocolate and studded with crunchy cocoa nibs. All ingredients are organic where specified, with no added oils or unnecessary fillers. 

Flavor Profile
This is a textured delight: you get the creamy, nutty warmth of roasted hazelnuts in the praliné, the bold dark chocolate bite from the 70% coatings, and the crisp, slightly bitter pop from the cocoa nibs. The Jaguar chocolate adds a subtle, exotic cocoa note layered under the praliné and nib crunch. 

Accolades & Awards

  • Silver at the International Chocolate Awards (2022) 

  • Gold at the Academy of Chocolate Awards (2023) 

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a piece melt slowly in your mouth so you first experience creamy hazelnut praliné, then the dark chocolate’s bold depth, followed by a satisfying crunch from the cocoa nibs. For drink pairings, try a strong espresso to contrast the sweetness, or a nutty brown ale to harmonize with the hazelnut tones. If you prefer non-alcoholic, a burnt sugar black tea or roasted oat milk latte works well. For food, toasted hazelnuts, dark berry compote, or simple buttery shortbread beautifully complement this bar’s texture and flavour balance.

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.
