"All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt. " ~ Charles M. Shulz

There are few things in life that bring as much pleasure to as many people as chocolate. Every day there comes a point where the craving hits us and we not only have to, but need to have to have a taste. Satisfying a craving is one thing, but taking a moment to enjoy an extraordinary gourmet chocolate is an experience you will not soon forget. Keeping with our commitment to quality and a responsibility to the environment we have chosen premier chocolatier Michel Cluizel to feature at the Chocolate Tulip. Based in France in the south of Normandy and founded in 1948 by Michel Cluizel, this Fair Trade chocolatier remains a family business and are one the premier independent producers of fine chocolate from the bean to the finished bar. Michel Cluizel has connections with plantations all around the world, including Sumatra, Venezuela, Ghana, Java, and the Ivory Coast. From these they blend the chocolate used in their bars and confections. We are please to be able to present them to Toronto Chocolate Lovers. Michel Cluizel is a stout defender of quality chocolate, declining to use soya lecithin in their chocolate. Instead their "Ingredients Noble" label highlights the quality of cocoa, sugar and vanilla used. From Descendant Dark Chocolate Bars, to chocolate covered cocoa beans, to Pralines and much much more, who can resist true artistry in chocolate? Currently available Chocolates are: |
