Origin & Craftsmanship
Made in Montreal by Allo Simonne, this spread combines creamy roasted hazelnuts with dark “Jaguar” chocolate (Theobroma bicolor), a rare white cacao originally cultivated in forest gardens in Mexico. The recipe offers a dairy-free texture as smooth and rich as milk chocolate, despite having no milk. The spread has earned acclaim in international chocolate competitions, including a silver at the World Finals of the 2019 International Chocolate Awards and gold in the Canadian section. 

Flavor Profile
Expect a deep, velvety chocolate base from the Jaguar cacao, balanced with sweet, nutty roast from the hazelnuts. The texture is sumptuous and smooth, with vanilla and a gentle cocoa bitterness cutting through just enough to keep it sophisticated. It hits the equilibrium between dessert-like creaminess and dark chocolate intensity. 

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Scoop a bit onto warm toasted brioche or artisan bread, and let the hazelnut aroma lead in. Let the spread melt on your palate to bring out its silky chocolate depth, followed by hazelnut richness and a touch of vanilla sweetness. Pair with a robust espresso or strong black coffee to contrast the sweetness and highlight the cacao’s complexity. For a non-coffee option, try Earl Grey tea to echo the vanilla and nut tones. Use as a filling for crepes or pancakes, or swirl into yogurt or oatmeal for a decadent breakfast treat.

Summary

The Hazelnut & Jaguar Chocolate Spread by Allo Simonne is a standout for those seeking a dairy-free but indulgently creamy spread. With its rare Jaguar cacao, roasted hazelnuts, clean ingredients, and award-winning profile, it elevates the classic chocolate-hazelnut idea into something more refined and unique.

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.
