Origin & Craftsmanship
This single-origin bar comes from Finca Casa Blanca, a historic cacao farm in Huila, Colombia, founded in 1820 and still run by Reynaldo Guzmán Romero, the great-great-grandson of its founder. Allo Simonne works with ASOCAGIGANTE, a local cooperative that centralises fermentation and drying for multiple small producers, ensuring excellent bean quality. The chocolate is bean-to-bar, organic, and made in Montreal. 

Flavor Profile
Rich cocoa character with balanced bitterness and a smooth finish. You’ll notice layered notes of dried fruit (think subtle stone fruit or raisin), deep cocoa depth, and a touch of earthy or nutty undertones—highlighted by minimal sugar so that the cacao shines through. 

Ingredients & Allergen Info
Contains: cocoa beans, organic cane sugar, cocoa butter.
May contain tree nuts. Organic certified. 

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let the bar rest on your tongue so you first experience its rich cocoa bitterness, then allow the fruit-stone notes to emerge, followed by a smooth cocoa finish. Pair with a medium-bodied red wine like Merlot to echo its dried fruit nuances, or a roasted coffee to amplify its dark chocolate depth. For non-alcoholic options, a herbal tea (like rooibos) highlights its earthy tones. Food-wise, try alongside toasted almonds or a dark fruit compote for complementary texture and flavour contrast.

Summary

The Huila, Colombia 75% “Pista” bar from Allo Simonne is a refined expression of single-origin organic cacao—bold, clean, and full of depth. With fruit-forward subtleties and minimal sweetness, it’s ideal for dark chocolate lovers who want complex flavour and craftsmanship in every bite.

Vegan, Dairy-free

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

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.
