Discover a world of flavors with their next-generation chocolate, inspired by nature, on the ground floor of the store from November 8 to January 8. Aurélien Rivoire has created a healthier recipe with less sugar, without compromising on exceptional flavor.

After much experimentation, Rivoire chose to make candied fruit using birch sap, an ingredient with multiple benefits, to tempt even the most refined palates with a healthier chocolate. Revolutionary! With an extremely low glycemic index and absolutely no sucrose, birch sap is a nutritional superstar.
