Weiss Limited Edition Dark Chocolate Bar with Passionfruit 67% 90g

"Écrin de Passion" is a seasonal, limited-edition dark chocolate bar creation by Maison Weiss. It's an intense dark chocolate with 67% cocoa content, made from cocoa beans from the Caribbean and Africa, enriched with passionfruit pieces. The intensity of the 67% cocoa and the acidity of passionfruit deliver a satisfying contrast. Passionfruit enhances the warm and roasted notes of dark chocolate, adding not just lots of flavour, but also some crunch and indulgence.

 

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.
