CHOCOLATERIE DE L’ABBAYE DE BONNEVAL

This abbey was founded in 1147; built by Cistercian monks, it was until the Revolution one of the richest in the Rouergue. In 1875, the sisters of Maubec and the chocolate factory settled there. The nuns, who would get their secrets of fabrication from a Limoges chocolate maker, work in the old fashioned way. Their chocolate is presented in bars, but also in rocks, malakoffs, cream chocolates... as well as in small bottles with the heart of liqueur, very famous.
