Puyricard Artisan chocolatier en Provence 🇫🇷
While traveling I’m always on the hunt for craft chocolate makers. My husband has come to expect that we will stop at every shop that says “chocolate” in just to check it out. When I start asking shop staff questions about origin of the beans etc, I’m usually disappointed with the blank stares and explanation that they use the finest chocolate, in France it was usually Valrhona. Sometimes I find that shops will even display a sack of cacao beans, yet only for display as they buy and melt chocolate into bars. I may purchase a truffle to taste but usually not a bar. I’m looking for true bean to bar makers that put their own spin on the process to create a work of art in a chocolate bar. We recently spent several weeks in and around Nice France hiking and walking through seaside villages. As we walked I sought out every shop I could find. Many times the shops were closed when we were in the area. Most of the time they didn’t have the level of chocolate I am looking for. Finall...
