Frequently Asked Questions

To maintain the high quality of our chocolates, store them at around 18°C, in their original packaging, away from humidity, air and light. Guidance on storage is shown on the information page for each product, under the ‘Preservation’ tab.

We are reducing the use of additives in all our products.On the rare occasions we use colouring, it is in strict compliance with the law and only in the absolute minimum quantities. Our objective is to offer you products which are both wholesome and tasty, which is why we our chocolates, chocolate spreads, confectionary, fruit jellies, ice creams, macaroons and cakes are made by us in our own workshops. For us, producing everything ourselves and controlling the process from the beginning to the end enables us to guarantee the quality, the consistency, the taste and the excellence of our products. We choose the raw materials, transform the cacao into chocolate and the dried fruit into praline, we create our own recipes and are constantly striving to improve quality.

Our chocolates are hand-crafted and made without preservatives. For this reason, and to be able to guarantee that they are fresh at the moment of eating, we deliberately put extremely short best-before dates, usually around five weeks from the date of production. Chocolates are withdrawn from sale two weeks before their best-before date; they may still be safely enjoyed for several weeks after this date, although the taste will not be to the same high quality as before.

Our workshops are located in Touraine, at Chambray-lès-Tours. It is here that we transform the cacao into chocolate and dried fruit into praline. Confectionary is also produced here. We control all aspects of the development of our recipes.

All our products can contain trace elements (nuts, glutens, etc.) as all production takes place in the same workshop. In compliance with the law and with the objective of transparancy, we label our products and communicate all information regarding ingredients on the product pages of our website. This information is also freely available in our boutiques from the sales staff and the list of allergens that can be found in our recipes.

We have made the decision not to include a product leaflet in our boxes of chocolates in order to reduce the use of paper but also because we like to change from time to time and the assortments change a little too! Discover our great range of chocolates here.

“Our recipes are created from cacao coming from different origins – Haiti, Madagascar, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, etc. From the selection of the co-operatives and the raw materials, to the blending – the fine-tuning of flavours to obtain the perfect covering or a delicious praline, we control every aspect in order to guarantee the excellence of our products.
Suppliers are expected to comply with our good practice charter and our product specifications which are based on several criteria, most importantly :
✓ Environmental (sustainable development)
✓ Social (labour law and employee rights)
✓ Quality and compliance (standards and certificates)
✓ Working conditions (child labour forbidden)
We require our suppliers to behave ethically and to be socially responsible. Through our travels, we choose, wherever possible, to deal directly with producers.”

Reducing the amount of waste and reusing unavoidable waste are of prime importance, doing so will reduce our carbon footprint. To achieve this, we are choosing new materials to develop our packaging and striving to improve little by little! Plastic is currently 80% from recycled sources and very soon our packaging will be made from 100% recycled plastic, mainly recovered from single-use water and soda bottles. Most of our paper and cardboard boxes are assembled using a series of folds, a system which we developed, and without the use of glue. They are recyclable, apart from the small gilded card. The spoons used to serve take-away ice cream are biodegradable and the small spoons in the individual pots are recyclable.

Due to the fragile nature of the products we manufacture and wanting to maintain the highest standards of quality, we have a fully integrated distribution network.

Certain creations are especially delicate and will not survive shipping. Others are only available in our boutiques.

Jams, cakes, macaroons, chocolate treats, etc. are all waiting to be discovered in our boutiques : here

We ask for the e-mail address and telephone number of your addressee so that Chronopost tracking will be as efficient as possible. For our couriers, this is also the only way to ensure that delivery is made to the right place at the right time.

Due to the fragile nature of our specialties and being unable to control the transport and storage conditions, shipping outside Europe is currently not available.

We have chosen to have our chocolates delivered via Chronopost, to ensure they are delivered in the best possible condition. This quality service for fragile and perishable items has a cost, which you might consider high, but we make no profit on this. Shipping costs vary according to the destination (France vs. Europe), but are fixed regardless of the quantity of confectionary ordered! We absorb the difference in price when the parcel is particularly large. We prefer to offer our high-quality chocolates at a reasonable price throughout the year, rather than increase the price per kilo so as to claim we are offering free shipping.
