Added Value

Benoît Nihant Chocolatier forms part of the elite cabal of chocolatiers that manufacture their chocolate using cocoa beans. Only a dozen of them worldwide are privy to this traditional expertise on their quest for perfection. Almost all chocolate-makers use chocolate as a raw material, which they subsequently remelt. This chocolate is generally produced by industrial companies. 
Benoît, however, has opted to master the entire process, right from the selection of the best batches of fine cocoa beans from planters-harvesters who share his passion for excellence.

At the heart of the creations produced by Maison Benoît Nihant, the chocolate tablets are the most vivid interpretation and product of the profession of cacaofèvier®. Like excellent wines, they come in different ‘Crus' and are an expression of the essence of each bean and each plantation so carefully selected by the chocolatier. And because plantations are rare and their crops fragile, because the aromas of the beans are subject to weather conditions, the different tablets in the collection are, by nature, living objects that are in a constant state of change.
