Craftsmanship
From painted mould to finished piece
Brush, cocoa butter, mould: every piece is born of a sequence of precise gestures.
-
Painting the moulds
The design is painted by hand at the bottom of the mould, before the chocolate is poured in.
-
Cocoa butter
Once tinted, it becomes a painter’s medium: a line, a shadow, a colour.
-
Artistic decoration
On unmoulding, the drawing appears, held in the gloss of the chocolate.
-
Moulding the shells
The shells are formed in the mould, then filled and sealed.
-
Fillings and textures
Ganache, praliné: the filling answers the decoration.
The art of giving
The box is part of the creation
Silk ribbons, a gold label, the arrangement of each piece: the presentation extends the decoration. Every collection is conceived down to its box.
