Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a square melt gently on your palate to reveal its layered flavors—beginning with a subtle honeyed sweetness, followed by bright citrus, and finishing with almond undertones. Pair it with a lightly oaked Chardonnay or an amber-style beer to echo the bar’s warmth and complexity. For a non-alcoholic option, try a delicate chamomile tea that mirrors its floral and honey notes. For food pairings, enjoy alongside toasted almonds or marcona almonds—the nutty crunch enhances the almond finish beautifully.

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.
