THE CHOCOLATE AND ITS ORIGINSTHE PRODUCTSTHE PRODUCTS
Pure origin chocolate
Our chocolates come from native cocoa beans, particularly rare, known for their aromatic richness and their complexity.
Each creation comes from a clearly identified origin (a region, sometimes a single plantation), to reveal the sensory profile of each terroir.
The percentage shown is the entire content of the cocoa bean. Nothing superfluous added: no flavourings, no emulsifiers, no substitute fats.
The result is pure chocolate of pure origin, with a strong personality, true to the very nature of cocoa.
An exceptional trio
Three fine creations
Made from native beans, these three chocolates offer
a journey through unique aromatic profiles.
Solo Cacao
Cocoa in its purest state
Made from Chuncho beans from old cocoa trees, this chocolate rests on a simple principle: add nothing. Its natural complexity makes for a tasting without bitterness, despite a high cocoa content.
Cacao Blanco
The rare expression of cocoa
Recognisable by its Porcelana-type beans, this exceptional cocoa stands out for its finesse and elegance. Its rarity and unique aromatic profile make it one of the most sought-after grands crus of chocolate.
Limited edition
When rarity becomes creation
Some cocoa beans, produced in very limited quantities, are reserved for a few houses committed to a demanding approach to chocolate.
Authentic chocolate
Exceptional beans
The Peruvian Amazon and Andes, birthplace of cocoa
Selected in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon and Andes, our cocoa beans (Chuncho and Piura Blanco) are among the rarest varieties.
Their genetic richness, their aromatic finesse and their complexity make them a raw material of great singularity.
Tree to Bar
A committed mastery, from tree to bar
The Tree to Bar method rests on direct control of the whole chain, from growing to the finished chocolate.
It is carried out in Peru by a specialist partner, chosen for its know-how and its pursuit of excellence.
Small-scale making
The demands of the craftsman's hand
Our house is deliberately small-scale and favours production in small batches. This puts quality, craftsmanship and authenticity at the heart of what we do.
In our Brussels workshop, we finish each chocolate with precision, to preserve the expression of the cocoa as fully as possible.
Natural, no compromise
The essential, nothing more
Our chocolates are made of just three ingredients, 100% natural:
- Pure cocoa mass
- Cocoa butter from the same beans
- Locally produced Panela cane sugar
Solo Cacao is made without added cocoa butter, to give the beans all the room they need.
