Chocolaterie de l’Opera
May 28th, 2007
For those in the catering business, there is a new chocolate company out there, started by Olivier de Loisy, a son in the family that started Valrhona. Chocolaterie de l’Opera is priced slightly lower than Valrhona, and they have a range of single estate chocolates for catering only.
The chocolate is very good, although my brother and I both think that Valrhona still edges it in terms of clarity of flavour. It’s definitely worth a taste, though, if you’re looking for chocolate for your kitchen.
One of their most interesting offerings is toasted cocoa nibs (right). We could definitely find a use for those!
The distributor in Ireland is La Rousse Foods.

I *highly* recommend cocoa nib tuiles - they can be formed into cups to hold a scoop of ice cream.

Sounds a great idea!
