Tree to Bar · from bean to bar
Beussent Lachelle is the only owner-producer chocolatier in France. To ensure exceptional raw materials, the brand created its own cocoa plantation in 2007 on the banks of the Rio Napo, in the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador. All chocolates come directly from the cultivation of the prestigious Nacional Ecuador bean.
A rare concept in France · the brand masters the entire chain, from cultivation to transformation into bars, gift boxes and bites. A short circuit approach, respectful of life, the work of people and the environment, in a committed CSR approach. The Baulois shop is one of ~25 locations in France.
Gift boxes, signatures
The range offers both expected classics and signature creations · gift boxes to compose with a choice of coating (dark, milk, white, blond), prestige boxes with an assortment of pralines and ganaches, bites sold individually or in batches (blackcurrant ganache, coffee ganache, praline golf balls, praline bar). The Premium bars are to be discovered for pure origin enthusiasts.
On the side of iconic pieces · the Chocolat Marteau, thick slab to break, mixed with hazelnuts, pistachios, almonds and raisins. And of course the seasonal moulds for each major holiday. Corporate gifts available on request with discounts on bulk orders. Possibility to personalise the gift box cards.

Antonin's advice
« My favourite address for gifts to take back or to treat myself at the end of a beach session. Ask to compose a custom gift box, it's the best. My favourite · the coffee ganache infused with Kenyan coffee, and the Chocolat Marteau slab to share. Think of the thematic gift boxes for Mother's Day or Christmas if you are travelling during those periods. »
