Our 2023 menu describes above all the chocolates we will introduce or rotate in the coming year.  Some are highly seasonal and available only when their ingredients make their fleeting appearance in our region, while others show up to celebrate a new season, or Valentine Day, or just because...

As of September 2023, our collection includes 17 chocolates, and one marzipan.  As with all our confections, our chocolates are made with organic cream, butter and citrus.

LA COLLECTION, September 2023:

72% Guittard dark chocolate shells:

Almond Marzipan:  our artisan marzipan gems have a dark chocolate shell, which gives the beautiful almond confection a perfect not too sweet balance.  Vegan.

Bergamot: a ganache made with a French Earl Grey tea is enhanced with orange zest for a citrusy delight.

Cassis Orange: a blackcurrant pâte de fruits is a beautiful companion for a dark chocolate orange ganache. 2022 commendation - Academy of Chocolate, UK.

Cherry Almond:  a sour cherry pâte de fruits mixed with griottines cherries are paired with an almond ganache.

Palet d'Or: we make this classic dark chocolate ganache with a beautiful Valrhona Madagascar Criollo.  One for chocolate purists.

Passion Vanilla: this chocolate has two ganaches:  a very tart passion fruit ganache and a mellow Madagascar vanilla ganache.

Pineapple Black Pepper: this chocolate has a pineapple pâte de fruits and a fresh black pepper ganache. 2022 Bronze medal winner/Academy of Chocolate, UK.
