Cluizel Chocolates Arrive!

From the renowned Parisian chocolatier Michel Cluizel, Hillside Liquor Store is proud to present Cluizel Chocolates. We are currently carrying:
  • Chocolate Sardines
  • Chocolate Mushrooms filled with caramel and nougatine
  • The Premiere Crus Collection of Chocolate (16 squares of dark chocolate) from the best plantations in the world: Venezuela, Santo Domingo Island, Madagascar, Sao Tome Island and Papua New Guinea.
  • Chocolate covered sugared and roasted almonds.

Cluizel chocolates are noticeably more expensive than other chocolates on the market. This is due to Monsieur Cluizel's insistence on visiting each of the plantations of cocoa to ensure that only the highest quality cacao is used and that each plantation is pesticide free. Also, Cluizel only uses the highest quality ingredients, and never uses soy lecithin or other emulsifiers. Finally, Cluizel uses traditional equipment and techniques to create each of the chocolates and confections which is more labour intensive and time consuming but results in better quality chocolates with a smooth grain and creamy texture.

Cluizel chocolates are meant to be enjoyed for aroma, texture and taste and are a perfect companion to fine wines, spirits or ales. Perfect for the gourmand or liquor enthusiast on your holiday list!
