Almond Praline Milk 55%

Bonnat Chocolate – Lait au Praline Amandes

The Bonnat Lait au Praline Amandes chocolate is a milk chocolate with almond nougat and has a cocoa content of 55%. The 100g chocolate bar is produced by Chocolat Bonnat, which has been based in Voiron, France, since 1884.

The high proportion of 30% almond nougat made from roasted almonds makes the chocolate so wonderfully creamy and nutty. Due to its silkiness, it doesn't have the usual Bonnat snap. Its texture is a bit firmer than nougat and a bit softer than other Bonnat milk chocolates. Its full-bodied almond aroma lingers on the palate for a long time.

Warning: this chocolate contains traces of nuts!

Bonnat's Universe of Flavors

The Bonnat company was founded in 1884 and is still operating today in its 4th generation at the old address in Voiron in the Isère Valley, producing bean-to-bar chocolates. They import the cocoa beans themselves, which are carefully selected from 8 different growing regions. To do this, Stephane Bonnat travels all over the world and buys directly from small plantations or cocoa farmers. The already fermented beans are first gently roasted and then conched (i.e., "kneaded") in a process lasting about 20 hours. From the rather dry beans, a thick liquid mass is thus created through the release of cocoa butter. In industrial production, cocoa varieties from various growing regions are then mixed until the desired taste is achieved. Bonnat deliberately refrains from doing that.

Like no other, he manages to bring out and let the typical characteristics of the respective cocoa bean from the respective growing region, and even the peculiarities of the vintage (influence of the weather), be tasted. Similar to a good wine, the chocolate thus shows its origin, its terroir. Bonnat was among the first to give their chocolates technical terms from the world of fine wines, such as Origin or Grand Cru.

For the production of chocolate, Chocolat Bonnat uses only cocoa, cocoa butter, and sugar. Foreign substances and emulsifiers play no role in the production process of the Bonnat family, unlike many "major" brands. Which region is your favorite?
