"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?
