VOYAGE TO THE ORIGINS OF CHUAO

Edito

I invite you to discover the new "Ganache Coffret" Collection n°2.  A timeless wonder of creation. The magic of an all-new pure Venezuelan ganache and an emblematic and irresistible ganache that you have treasured since time immemorial. 

Gilles Marchal, Master Pastry Chef-Chocolatier, Creative Director

Original ganache in an ephemeral coffret!

Illustrious creation of La Maison du Chocolat, authentic ganache will once again make its grand entrance in our boutiques.

In 1977, Robert Linxe, founder of La Maison du Chocolat, created Guayaquil. Semi-sweet, a bit robust with a hint of vanilla, this chocolate bonbon dances between subtlety and silkiness.  It is the first of a long series from South America and bears the name of Guayaquil, a port in Ecuador.

In 2010, Gilles Marchal created Chuao. Village, between mountain and sea, Chuao cultivates a rare and unique cacao bean.

From the origins of Chuao... 

It was during a trip to Venezuela that Gilles Marchal, Creative Director, discovered the plantations of Chuao. 

A small village in Northern Venezuela perched between two mountains and bordering the sea, it is accessible only by small fishing boats.

 "My eyes were filled with wonder upon my arrival in this splendor of nature where the plantation of Chuao is located. 

I discovered a cacao bean that is truly amazing.  The entire village comes together to cultivate this rare cacao bean."

...to the creation of a new Ganache :

Chuao, notes of roasted Arabica coffee almost woody, a subtlety of spices, vanilla and liquorice find themselves interlaced under a fine robe of dark chocolate.
