Le Chocolat from Alain Ducasse in Galeries Lafayette
Ducasse’s Chocolates are available in three families: praline, truffles, and ganaches. Each has their own texture and taste.
We sampled the different chocolates while learning the narrative of how chocolate is made including the six step from bean selection to molding. Beans from a particular location or certain climatic conditions have different flavors. Chocolate bean origins and their taste aromas:
Brazil A noted woody flavor, slightly bitter
Cameroon A tarty flavor
Colombia Floral taste, dried fruits and caramel
Cuba Dried fruit
Grenada Fruity and woody
Java Smoky
Madagascar fruity red acidic
Peru Floral Cherry
Trinidad Notes of Vanilla
Vietnam spicy notes with anise
