Origin & Craftsmanship
Handcrafted in Montréal by Allo Simonne, this spread blends roasted hazelnuts (over 50%) with rich 100% dark chocolate and lightly roasted buckwheat for crunch. It’s made with organic ingredients where possible, no added oil (including palm oil), no preservatives, and packaged in recyclable glass. The maker emphasizes small-batch quality and ingredients you can recognize and pronounce.

Deep chocolate richness meets toasted hazelnut warmth, uplifted by a subtle nutty grain texture from the buckwheat. There’s a balance of bitterness and sweetness: the dark chocolate gives bold cocoa, while the buckwheat adds earthy crunch and contrast. Vanilla and sea salt add finishing touches to round out the flavor.

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Scoop the spread onto warm toast, crisp baguette, or even apple slices and let the heat soften it so chocolate and hazelnut meld, then enjoy the satisfying crunch of buckwheat. Pair with strong black coffee or espresso to counterbalance its sweetness, or a nutty oolong tea to echo its toasted tones. For a dessert-like pairing, try with vanilla ice cream or drizzle over roasted pears. A nugget of sharp aged cheese (Gruyère or Comté) provides a savory contrast.

Summary

The Hazelnut, Dark Chocolate & Buckwheat Spread by Allo Simonne is an indulgent yet refined spread that combines luxurious dark chocolate and toasted hazelnut with surprising buckwheat crunch. Clean ingredients, strong flavour, and artisanal care make it a standout for anyone looking for texture, depth, and craftsmanship in a jar.

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.

Nos chocolatiers s'abstiennent fièrement d'utiliser des stabilisateurs ou des conservateurs artificiels dans leurs produits, ce qui rend leurs créations plus sensibles à la température par rapport aux autres chocolats haut de gamme.

Pour garantir une expérience gustative optimale, il est conseillé de conserver nos chocolats dans un endroit frais et sec où la température oscille entre 16°C et 18°C. Nous vous conseillons de ne pas réfrigérer nos chocolats, car cela pourrait provoquer une cristallisation du sucre due à l'augmentation de l'humidité, altérant ainsi leur texture et leur saveur.

Au contraire, s'il est conservé à des températures trop élevées, le beurre de cacao peut se séparer et former un film blanc à la surface du chocolat. Cette perte de beurre de cacao peut entraîner un dessèchement du chocolat et, par conséquent, une altération potentielle de sa saveur. Vos pratiques de conservation réfléchies contribueront à préserver l'intégrité de nos délicieux chocolats.
