Straight from Nicolas Cloiseau's cabinet of curiosities, the INSOLITE Collection features a unique chocolate that delights in surprising and leaves no one indifferent. With three editions per year, Nicolas Cloiseau creates moments of freedom where the wildest ideas meet chocolate. A gustatory sidestep that engages with its time, transforming each tasting into a unique sensory adventure.
INSOLITE
Those who follow him know: Nicolas Cloiseau wakes up every day to shake up conventions. His recipe is to do nothing like everyone else: chocolates without cream or butter that highlight the house's DNA (Naturally Fruit), water-based ganaches (Bali Noël 2024), chocolates aged in oak barrels, alcohol-free*, with an intense whisky flavor (Alchimie), chocolates that come to the table (Esprit salé) in savory vegetable versions or others that are enjoyed frozen (Givrés). When it comes to innovation, our chef sets no limits, each innovation disrupts genres and makes a splash.
For Insolite, his reflection did not start from taste but from the process: Nicolas's idea was to explore all raw materials that can be rehydrated or infused into a ganache cream, ground/crushed into praline, or substitute for butter or cream. From this premise, everything becomes possible, pushing the boundaries of taste even with seemingly dissonant combinations. Then the famous "neither too much nor too little," which marks the balance of the house's taste between chocolate and other ingredients, makes the chocolate resonate like never before.

INSOLITE OYSTER CHOCOLATES GIFTBOX
His first opus showcases the subtle nuances of a dark chocolate ganache with oyster extract, concentrating its iodized notes in a skillful blend of cream and mascarpone. The 66% dark chocolate assembly achieves the surprising balance of naturally salty marine notes followed by a delightful taste of oyster and chocolate. For this first edition, Nicolas Cloiseau invites the marine wave of this unique chocolate to open our taste buds to new sensations.
The first recipe in a long series, Insolite chocolate-oyster, is designed to explore your tastes, even those you might not suspect, and to captivate all who love to be surprised.
