We meld art and science, and emphasize technical precision and design to create visually stunning products that showcase the flavours of the premium ingredients we work with.
Taste, complexity, and ethics are important to us, and we only use directly traded artisanal chocolates; the cacao is grown under ethical and sustainable conditions by skilled farmers, and their crop is directly purchased and roasted by an artisanal French manufacturer. Then, it makes its way to us where we create different treats by combining it with the most special produce and nuts we can find. Whenever possible, these ingredients are local and organic. We believe that fresh is best, and we are fortunate to work directly with a number of tremendous farmers who enable us to create chocolate and pastry products that highlight our local agricultural region.
