Origin & Craftsmanship
Handcrafted in Montréal by Allo Simonne, this bar is a luxurious interpretation of classic gianduja. It combines silky hazelnut praline with the brand’s richly-crafted dark chocolate—featuring the rare Jaguar cacao variety—to deliver a balanced and deeply satisfying texture and flavour.
Each bar is made with minimal ingredients, in small batches, reflecting Allo Simonne’s bean-to-bar ethos and artisan approach. 

Flavor Profile
This bar opens with the roasted, nutty warmth of hazelnut praline, followed by rich dark chocolate depth. The finish is smooth and lingering, offering a sophisticated experience without overwhelming sweetness. Whole roasted hazelnuts hidden within add crunch and elevate the sensory journey. 

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a piece rest on your tongue so you first feel the praline’s smooth nuttiness. Then allow the dark cocoa character to unfold, followed by the satisfying texture of roasted whole hazelnuts.
For optimal enjoyment:

  • Pair with a bold espresso or French press coffee to accentuate the chocolate’s depth.

  • Alternatively, choose a nut-friendly tea (like hazelnut or oolong) for a non-alcoholic match.

  • For food pairing, consider toasted hazelnuts or a crisp almond biscotti to echo the bar’s nut-forward profile.

Summary

The Dark Chocolate Gianduja by Allo Simonne is a refined, texture-rich bar for lovers of nut-and-chocolate harmony. With roasted hazelnut praline at its heart and artisan dark chocolate as its base, it offers indulgence with craftsmanship—ideal for when you crave premium flavour and a little crunch.

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.
