Chef Thierry’s chocolates are founded in the traditions of his native France, where he learned his craft as a young man. He personally selects only the finest ingredients: fresh fruits and zests, Tahitian vanilla, premium hazelnuts, Quebec maple syrup, and, of course, only the very best chocolate. Then it’s off to the climate controlled ‘chocolaterie’ kitchen, which allows him to make precise, small batches – from the initial chocolate tempering process right through to the final garnish.
