Dark chocolate box

Ever since the Mayans and Toltecs cultivated the first cacao tree, dark chocolate has been a cherished sugary treat. It was first enjoyed as a beverage in 1900 BC, and it’s been revered ever since. The ancient Olmecs called it a product of the divine. Pierre Marcolini has perfected the scrumptious flavour of a perfectly roasted bean. His dark chocolate box options cater to every taste.

Dark Chocolate Box: A Comprehensive Guide




Types of Dark Chocolate Boxes
Maison Pierre Marcolini’s dark gift box offerings include everything from sugar free artisan bars and flaked almonds to crunchy nougatine croustillants. Vanilla is the caviar flavour of chocolate, so the master chocolatier has produced a dark chocolate box gift crafted from Madagascan vanilla. If you favour a purer taste, his selection of dark Malline truffles is dusted with cocoa powder and enveloped in ganache. The Belgian truffle gift box is prepared freshly every day. If you prefer a more intense sensory experience, the hazelnut dragees are drowning in cocoa. Pierre Marcolini rarely makes single-origin dark chocolate boxes, preferring to source ingredients from all over the world. Each gift box includes a minimum of 75% cocoa content.    

Themed Dark Chocolate Boxes
Every season, Pierre Marcolini develops a new collection of luxury chocolate products. Over December, he crafts a seasonal gift box smothered in Christmas cheer. Each Halloween, you’ll find the perfect spooky treats. When summer arrives, vanilla takes centre stage, and over August, you might find an exquisite dark chocolate box for her. Keep an eye open for the Plumier Petits Bonheurs gift box, which includes Maison Pierre Marcolini’s many creative praline offerings.  

How Your Chocolate Assortment is Made
Maison Pierre Marcolini controls every stage of the production process, and the bean is the first step to producing each luxury dark chocolate box. Fermentation brings out the cocoa’s aroma with the help of alcohol. The first phase of your chocolate assortment takes four to seven days. Then the beans are sun-dried. The alcohol transforms into acetic acid, triggering enzyme release. Roasting comes next. Our artisans use artisanal conching to produce creams of the perfect consistency. Once the couverture has solidified, it’s set and ready to be enhanced by almonds, sea salt, and other ingredients. Most gift box products contain no gelatine and are thus suitable for vegetarians.    

Health Benefits of Dark Chocolate
Treats with high cocoa content can improve vascular health, reduce the risk of heart disease, and improve blood flow to the brain. Pierre Marcolini eats 100 grams of chocolate every day. He loves Ecuadorian dark chocolate in the morning and smoked flavours at sunset. His potent Ecuadorian treat is served in the form of a tablet or in Plumier Petits Bonheur dark chocolate gift box. Alcohol, heat, and humidity all work together to tease out different flavours, so Maison Pierre Marcolini treats every finest ingredient with the utmost respect. You can only create the best dark chocolate box if you understand your raw materials well enough to elevate them. Whether that means achieving the perfect sea salt caramel, dark chocolate orange, or tangy raspberry, only the best ingredients find their way onto Maison Pierre Marcolini shelves.
