Allo Simonne - Dark Chocolate Gianduja with Buckwheat & Melilot Flowers
Great Taste Award-winner 2025
Origin & Craftsmanship
Handmade in Montreal, this limited-edition gianduja bar is a labor of love. Allo Simonne blends roasted hazelnut praline with dark chocolate (70%) and even Jaguar dark chocolate (a white cacao variety, Theobroma bicolor) for added depth. The recipe incorporates roasted buckwheat seeds and melilot flower (sweet clover), which is wild-harvested in Quebec and adds a delicate floral, vanilla-like aroma to the mix. The result is a crunchy, wild-flower forward chocolate bar with distinct texture and nuance.
Flavor Profile
You’ll get the rich roast of hazelnut praline followed by the dark chocolate’s bittersweet cocoa bite. The Jaguar white cacao lends a subtle creaminess and exotic note against the 70% dark base. Crunch of buckwheat adds a toasted grain quality, while the melilot flower brings a whisper of sweet vanilla-and-honey aroma, softening and lifting the darker tones. Altogether, it’s both bold and delicate in harmony.
Tasting & Pairing Guide
Allow a piece to melt slowly so you first taste the roast of hazelnut and the bittersweet edge of the dark chocolate. As it unfolds, notice the crunch from buckwheat and the soft floral sweetness of melilot giving a vanilla-honey lift. Pair this bar with an herbal tea like chamomile or sweet clover to echo the floral notes, or a nutty, caramel-forward whisky or aged rum that complements the praline and toasted grains. For a food pairing, try slices of pear or apple, or even a buttery shortbread—something mild that lets the chocolate’s complexity shine.
Summary
Gianduja, Buckwheat & Melilot Flower is a beautifully crafted bar that’s crunchy, aromatic, and elegant. It melds creamy hazelnut gianduja and high-quality chocolate with the surprising crunch of buckwheat and the delicate wild-flower lift of melilot. Perfect for someone looking for both texture and floral sophistication in their chocolate experience.

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.
