Weiss Dark Chocolate Sticks with Vanilla Cream Filling 5pcs 100g

Another master creation of Maison Weiss, also one of their most iconic items: a small "cigarette box" containing five batons wrapped in golden foil. Each baton is filled with a sweet, gooey, soft fondant cream, made with lots of genuine Bourbon vanilla and butter, all covered in a thin layer of crunchy chocolate shell. The shell is made of dark chocolate with a 62% cocoa content, to balance the sweetness of the fondant cream. 

 

A stylish treat which fits every purse and pocket!

 

Eugène Weiss, the founder and creator of Maison Weiss, was the son of a winemaker. He drew inspiration from the world of wine to create the art of chocolate blending: combining cocoas from various origins, balancing their proportions, and developing recipes that yield truly unique flavours and tasting notes - the same way the greatest wines are created...

 

He opened his shop in Saint-Etienne. The city, with its gourmet heritage, boasted up to 25 chocolatiers in the 1920s. Saint-Étienne lies on the cocoa route: from Nantes by river and from Marseille by rail. The climate is neither too humid nor too hot, ideal for preserving the beans' character. 

Because his workshop became too small, he established his chocolate factory in 1907. Maison Weiss pioneered several innovations. The chocolate factory developed the first catalogues to showcase its chocolates. A few years later, the Maison unveiled its emblem: the first individually wrapped chocolate, the Napolitain.
