    We choose our beans from the finest terroirs, where climate, soil, and the expertise of the growers create unique flavour profiles.<\/p>\n

    Each bean origin deserves its own roasting: we adjust the temperature and duration to bring out their distinctive aromatic qualities.<\/p>\n

    1 Careful selection of the beans<\/h6>\n

    We choose our beans from the finest terroirs, where climate, soil, and the expertise of the growers create unique flavour profiles.<\/p>\n

    2- Roasting by origin<\/h6>\n

    Each bean origin deserves its own roasting: we adjust the temperature and duration to bring out their distinctive aromatic qualities.<\/p>\n

    3- Cracking & grinding of the nibs<\/h6>\n

    We gently transform the beans into increasingly fine nib fragments, then into a smooth cocoa paste.<\/p>\n

    4- Blending the ingredients<\/h6>\n

    We combine the cocoa paste with the finest ingredients: Swiss milks certified Swiss Milk Green, Swiss sugar, Madagascan vanilla… Each recipe is a precise alchemy to enhance the beans.<\/p>\n

    5- Slow conching<\/h6>\n

    [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” header_6_font=”|700|||||||” header_6_text_color=”#cd1013″ header_6_font_size=”21px” width=”100%” max_width=”100%” module_alignment=”right” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

    Conching is the key stage where the flavours fully develop. It is the pinnacle of chocolate making, and we dedicate as much time as needed: some chocolates are conched for up to two full days to achieve perfect balance. <\/p>\n

    6- Tempering & moulding<\/h6>\n

    [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” header_6_font=”|700|||||||” header_6_text_color=”#cd1013″ header_6_font_size=”21px” width=”100%” max_width=”100%” module_alignment=”right” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

    In a final act of precision, tempering reveals the chocolate\u2019s beauty: brilliant shine, delicate snap, velvety texture. It is also at this stage that delicious inclusions are added to certain recipes. <\/p>\n
