Our approach
A house on a human scale
Guided by the pursuit of the right taste
We are an independent house on a human scale, guided by a constant demand for quality. Our creations are for those who look for authenticity, precision of taste and sincere craftsmanship, beyond the effects of a famous name. Our approach rests on a simple conviction: chocolate should hide nothing and correct nothing. It should faithfully express the material it comes from.
Our craft
Transforming without distorting
Our work is to transform raw materials of great quality while preserving their identity.
Every step is designed to accompany the cocoa, never to force it.
Above all, we look for accuracy: that of a natural balance, where the aromas express themselves with precision, without artifice.
Pure chocolate of pure origin
This definition sums up our guiding line:
a chocolate of clear origin and great purity,
true to its terroir and its raw material
Cocoa pod + Purity = Our identity
Cocoa pod
Our identity is expressed through chocolates of clearly defined origin, made from beans selected for their quality and their aromatic singularity.
We favour cocoas from a single region, sometimes from a single plantation, so that each chocolate reveals a precise identity, true to its terroir.
Purity
In this pursuit of purity, cocoa mass plays a central role. Coming straight from the beans, it carries the very essence of chocolate.
The higher its share, the less the chocolate needs anything added. The result is an expression true to the natural aromas of the cocoa.
As close as possible to the authentic flavours of the cocoa bean
Reaching that accuracy rests on a simple principle: more pure cocoa, fewer ingredients.
Our Solo Cacao chocolate is its most accomplished expression: a chocolate with nothing superfluous added and no correction, where the taste expresses itself in its most direct form, with sincerity and precision.
Standard
chocolate
80% cocoa
Within that 80%, about 15% are additives (mostly cocoa butter, then emulsifiers and flavourings), which brings the real cocoa mass down to 65%.
Our chocolate
Solo Cacao 80%
cocoa beans
Here, 80% stays 80% cocoa mass, with no additive at all: pure bean. Solo Cacao comes from beans of old trees on exceptional plots; their taste is so unique and complex that no other ingredient is needed.
100% chocolate - 0% compromise
A responsible commitment
Preserving a living heritage
The native cocoa varieties of the Amazon and the Peruvian Andes are a fragile and precious heritage.
Through our choices, we help preserve them, by supporting farming practices that respect ecosystems and by improving the living conditions of local communities.
Our commitment rests on respect for the land, for human work and for the time it takes to grow quality cocoa.
Transparency
A constant standard
Transparency is at the heart of our approach.
It applies as much to the cocoa as to all the ingredients we use, selected with the same rigour.
Our choice rests on consistency and quality, never on compromise.
