Reviews of interest
L’Express (2011) “On connaît la passion de ce grand artisan, qui réalise son propre chocolat et a planté des cacaoyers sur l’île de Madagascar. On la goûte avec délice aussi. Depuis les nobles ganaches, onctueuses bombes de cacao, jusqu’au praliné rustique et savoureux, en reprenant un peu de cette orangette revisitée qui fait tourner toutes les têtes, ravissante et admirablement équilibrée.”
Paris Patisseries (2011) “So, yes, all things considered, I would definitely recommend Pralus’s Chuao. What it lacks in magic, it makes up for in pure sophistication.”
This is my very favourite chocolate. We mostly eat plain chocolate bars and this is by far the best. Single origin chocolate bars are fantastic. I also really like their Bar Infernale which is a dark chocolate with almonds or hazelnuts.
