The best chocolatiers Caraïbes

Artisan chocolatiers Thierry and Jimmy Lauzéa are among the world's finest chocolatiers. With a focus on authenticity and tropical aromas, these talented creators of flavors have carved out a reputation worthy of their sweets (ganaches, rochers, fondants or "Neg'Marron", tablettes, fruit jellies...), while remaining true to their Creole roots. They now have four boutiques on the island, all of which are veritable odes to indulgence!

Anne-Solène works with chocolate in an artisanal way and proposes a range of peyi products; chocolate bars, pralines, ganaches, fruit jellies with local flavors, nougats, original spreads in a "crousti-coco" version or caramels with fleur de sel and vegetarian chili (to appreciate the flavors of the chili without the "spice"). Her chocolates and sweets are available in the store and online (for most products).

Making and selling chocolate in Guadeloupe is the challenge Les Suprêmes takes up knowing that this product, loaded with history and struggles, is one of the most appreciated throughout the world. Marianne, a Swiss young women chocolate maker, arrived in Guadeloupe in 2008 to live as close as possible to her art. The discovery of the wonders of Caribbean nature has made her decide to settle there to produce chocolate and combine her know-how with the Caribbean tastes. She works with all the products offered by Guadeloupe: cocoa, coffee, fruit, roots, vegetables, flowers. All this work is part of the artisanal production chain highlighted during the presentations. You can discover the gourmet range: rocher with cassava flour, passion jam chocolate, coffee beans with chocolate…, the fine grocery range: salt with spices and cocoa chips, olive oil, cocoa syrup scented with cocoa syrup… and, of course, that of 35 chocolate tablets, the domino stuffed with country fruit and many other delicacies. Les Suprêmes has the ambition and the ability to make chocolate for all: children, adults, catering professionals, lovers of fine products. The range goes from gourmand to gourmet, from chocolate tablet to foie gras with cocoa. Today, this challenge is the source of the logo: " Swiss know-how with Caribbean tastes".

In his quest for good chocolate on the island, Alan Napier decided to set up his own workshop, the only one in Dominica. With a background in chemistry and oenology, this enthusiast is a self-taught man. From roasting and drying to hulling and fermentation, everything is made here. From 100% cocoa to chocolate with salt, coconut or spices, there's something for everyone! Upstairs, accommodation for 3 people is available for rent (US$75). Alan speaks French.
