Owner's Message
Bovetti:the passion for CHOCOLATE
created in 1994, the house of chocolate Valter Bovetti, started in a garage.
Our philosophy as a chocolate maker is to remain above all an explorer of new lands and flavors. Come and visit our museum - workshop in Terrasson Lavilledieu
Valter Bovetti is a man of commitment who never stops looking for the highest quality. The chocolatier wishes to offer the best by using only first choice ingredients and by perpetuating the tradition of old fashioned chocolate.
Valter Bovetti's commitment is also the respect of the people, the cocoa producers. (Fair Trade). As a true man of the field, he regularly travels to the producing countries to discuss the products but also the working and living conditions of the farmers. To date, he is the sponsor of 2 plantations (Sao Tomé).
With Valter, it's simple: there are no compromises, we don't cheat the cocoa, the planet and the consumers. Nature is fragile, if we want to enjoy its benefits, it is up to all of us to take care of it..
Valter Bovetti was the first to propose a unique spread on the market because it is made with 40% hazelnuts, real chocolate pure cocoa butter and without palm or coconut oil.

Members' reviews on MUSÉE DU CHOCOLAT BOVETTI
Il aura fallu une longue semaine de vacances pluvieuse pour que nous nous décidions à aller faire cette visite. Heureusement, la ville historique de terrasson toute proche justifie le déplacement.
Pour moi, le rapport intérêt/prix n'y est pas. Pour avoir travaillé dans le tourisme, on ne fait pas cohabiter groupe et individuels et, à minima, on prévient les individuels qu'ils seront avec un groupe.
Quelques bricoles oui mais c’est plutôt un cran de trop dans l’horreur, même en chocolat.
Très bonne dégustation proposée à la fin de la visite.
Un grand merci à l'accueillante pour son baptême de guide.
