Weiss Milk Chocolate Bar Chouchou 38% 90g

Weiss Chouchou is a dark milk chocolate bar, made from cocoa beans from Africa and South America. It's a 'Chouchou' bar, meaning it's made with pieces of caramelised almonds and hazelnuts, and a touch of Guérande sea salt. A beautiful combination of soft and crunchy, and sweet and salty. 

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.
