A little way from the town center of Les Sorinières in the South of France, Olivier Grimault (OG) and his team have set up their gourmet laboratory here. What a sublime surprise to discover his creations of pure cocoa butter chocolate bonbons. With recipes as original as they are affordable. The boxed chocolates (platters) are a real eye-catcher, with their varied assortments and timeless, original flavors. We're talking about chocolates filled with refined ganaches, classic pralines and puff pastries, intense dark chocolates, varieties with a wide range of spices (pepper, vanilla) or refined flavors (tonka bean, lime, blackcurrant...). Everything is sublimated and blends well once transformed, accommodated in the hands of the master craftsman. Chocolates that invite us to travel, between Tanzania, Venezuela, Vietnam, Ghana, Papua New Guinea, Grenada... Try the Maen Hir speciality, a unique blend of 72% cocoa beans (from Santo Domingo and Mexico), or the Pavé soriniérois, a box of small chocolates with flaky praline and caramelized almonds. Indulge yourself with mendiants, grignotines, Crousty'nuts, Croq'télé or Crousty pop's. Olivier Grimault makes us melt with pleasure with homemade confectionery, fruit jellies, Taga'boum, Geli'fizz, marshmallows and other names that make young and old alike dream of indulgence. The spread here is called Goûter de Paco with milk and hazelnuts - a must! or the "flaky" version, or "caramel with fleur de sel", or the new "cocoa bean slivers". And don't forget to try Tatie Thalie's delicious sweetness.... Have you tried the new Soriniérois chocolate fondant? Divine dark chocolate to share and make people happy! Add to that the chocolate sculpting talents and chocolate courses, the super-reasonable prices, the warm welcome and the free parking, and you'll know why this place is well worth a visit! Don't forget the "food truck glacier" for your events, whether professional or private, which is available for sweet and original desserts or snacks! Speaking of ice creams, here they're 100% homemade and to die for! Chocolate mint, macadamia vanilla... Iced verrines with tangy flavors, evasion, Montélimar, are original desserts to offer! New in 2021, for chocolate addicts, subscription formulas for sweet boxes: "la Créat ' Box" for 3, 6, 9 or 12 months, with a box representing a patchwork of homemade sweets - you should have thought of that! Taste our new products: Manabi 72.5% le Cameroun 71% and 100% grands crus!
