At the moment, the biggest cacao producers are Brazil and The Ivory Coast. Most connoisseurs agree that the best beans and appellations, known for their subtle flavors and their finesse, come from South and Central America. Our chocolate couvertures, made by Valrhona, are the result of blending beans from different origins. The Valrhona Company creates special blends custom-made for us. Our preference of course is for the Criollo beans, which produce fine, delicate chocolate. We use beans from Central America, Trinidad, Ecuador and Venezuela but also from Madagascar, Sri Lanka and Indonesia, as well as Sumatra (they have good acidity) and some Forasteros from the Ivory Coast.

We work almost exclusively with Valrhona; it has ensured economic and social support for producers and protection for their plantations for 20 years. Compliance with recognized international standards including the International Labor Organization (minimum wages, rights to organize, etc.), research and technical assistance programs, fixed prices and guaranteed volumes are all part of a long-term partnership with producers.

When recipes are developed, every ingredient is tasted and approved by Nicolas Cloiseau. The quality team also ensures that suppliers meet food safety requirements and carries out tastings on reception, prior to manufacture. An internal panel of experts is required to approve the taste of each new recipe and tastings are conducted throughout the life of the products to ensure the consistent quality of each product.

We have very strict specifications for our ingredients. We don’t focus on organic ingredients because our priority is to use products that have the very best organoleptic qualities. Nicolas Cloiseau travels all over the world in search of the best products (cocoa beans, spices, fruit, etc.)

Our committed production teams are consistently focused on ensuring the quality of the products you enjoy.
Our chocolate sweets are made by hand by a passionate and loyal team, inspired by Nicolas Cloiseau’s philosophy. At La Maison du Chocolat, all our chocolatiers have a chocolate-making qualification.
Our chocolates are then carefully put into boxes by hand.
Working in the workshop next to that of La Maison du Chocolat’s chocolatiers, the team of pâtissiers prepares and bakes pastries every day to be sold in the brand’s Parisian stores. International stores have their own workshop on site with qualified pâtissiers, trained by our French pâtissiers.

We don’t sell chocolate with peanuts and there are no peanuts in our workshops. However our suppliers of nuts cannot guarantee the absence of peanuts in their own facilities, therefore we mention that all our products may contain traces amount of peanuts.

On the website, there is a tab for each product with information about the presence of allergens. When shopping in store, information is available for all products, whether in boxes or customized, including for macarons and pastries.
If you have any questions, please ask in store or contact our Customer Service: customer@lamaisonduchocolat.hk

Soy lecithin is used in the manufacture of the couverture chocolate we use. It’s an emulsifier that makes it easier to mix ingredients (cocoa paste, cocoa butter, sugar, etc.) during conching. Making up less than 0.5% of the total weight of the final product, it has no effect on taste. Our suppliers provide GMO-free soy lecithin.

The Best Before Date of our chocolates is shown on the bottom of each box. We encourage you to eat our products before this date. We recommend storing them somewhere cool (between 16 and 18°C), away from light. A cellar or the crisper drawer of the refrigerator are possible solutions, as long as you leave products in their original packaging and wrap them carefully in a sealed plastic bag. However, please note that chocolates should be taken out of the refrigerator about two hours before they are to be enjoyed: this helps their flavors develop. Our pastries are freshly baked and should be eaten the same day - except for our desserts which can be stored for 2 days, and our travel-sized cakes which should be eaten within 5 days. Our sales advisers can provide you with information about tasting when you place your order.

For nearly 10 years, our manufacturing site has been ISO 22000 certified, thanks to the committed involvement of our teams when it comes to food safety. Our production teams comply with strict hygiene rules and quality control to guarantee truly indulgent products.
We are committed to respecting the quality requirements of each country in which we are present, and we ensure that the ingredients, labels, and hygiene criteria of each recipe meet these requirements.
Traceability is a key concern: each product has its own history that we can trace at every stage, from raw materials to sale. We create quality products with a sustainable and natural approach: as such, we prohibit the use of GMOs, palm oil and artificial colors in our chocolates.

Most of our products are covered on our e-boutique. While some products are particularly delicate and cannot easily be transported.
