The magic of French chocolate by RICHART
Paris, the city of lights, the city of love; Lyon, known by many as the “world capital of gastronomy” for over a century... France is known all over the world for various aspects of its culture, tourist attractions, sophisticated fashion and classic cuisine. The French have a certain “art de vivre” , combining refinement, luxury, elegance and flair - and that’s the case for “chocolat” too!
French chocolate tradition
This country has amazing gastronomic specialties for sale, whether flour-dusted baguettes, light and fluffy chocolate mousse, sweet and nutty praline, or cake filled with cream. However, everyone agrees that the art of chocolate-making cannot be overlooked. There is no shortage of renowned French chocolate-makers, not only in Paris but all over the country. Each one adds a personal touch: carefully choosing the origin and variety of the cocoa beans, traditional or more modern recipes, creating bars of single origin dark chocolate, milk chocolate or flavored chocolate, designing each recipe to be classic or more original, selecting their favorite ingredients such as hazelnut, almond, or liqueur for a unique taste... The list of possibilities is almost infinite. Every brand shows their uniqueness, offering connoisseurs a vast range of unique “chocolat” , whether in bar, mini or other format, garnering respect for the “made in France” signature.
With French people enjoying over 300,000 tons of dark, milk and white chocolate each year, this country is one of the world’s biggest chocolate consumers. So it’s not surprising that the art of chocolate-making is so highly valued here, and that French chocolate has such a stellar reputation.
Chocolate by Maison RICHART
At the RICHART workshop, we make much more than regular dark, milk and white chocolate bars. For over a century, Maison RICHART has been pursuing a deeply rooted passion for chocolate, passed down from generation to generation. Each recipe is the result of artisanal French know-how carefully preserved over time, combining grand chocolate-making tradition and confectionery expertise. But this craft also means knowing when to challenge yourself, by constantly pursuing excellence through innovation and novelty in your recipes, to offer only the best in chocolate tasting. What could be more satisfying than making chocolate imbued with this timeless essence, while opening the door to more modern ideas?
Each recipe is tried-and-true, featuring unique combinations and an unequaled artistic touch to create a one-of-a-kind universe: our products are far more than regular chocolates. Our work sits at the crossroads between the artisanal work of a chocolate-maker, jeweler and perfume-maker. Each product - chocolates, chocolate bars, truffles and macarons - reflects this refined French know-how.
With our classic recipes, meticulous choice of the best ingredients known for their powerful aromatic notes, artisanal expertise, careful attention paid to the visual aspect of each creation, thanks to our unique technique of printing on chocolate, and the special care we put into the box design, we achieve a result that meets the highest standards of excellence. Tasting a RICHART chocolate bar or other product means diving into a whole new world.
