New Flavor

Restocked! New Flavors!

G. E. Gallas

Hello everyone:

I just wanted to let you know that all our flavors, except for Treasure Island, have been restocked!

We’ve run into some unanticipated delays with our new batch of Treasure Island. But this chocolate bar will be even better once we work out its new formula.

In other news, we’re working on two new flavors. They are currently in development and will become available by the end of this month. So check back here updates!

Thank you so much!

We're thrilled to announce we have a new flavor coming soon. Our The Tale of Genji chocolate bar will contain Uji Matcha green tea in white chocolate for a beautiful green bar. This green tea is made in Uji, where the last 10 chapters of The Tale of Genji takes place. We are excited to introduce Japanese literature to our collection of chocolate bar flavors, as well as what is known as “the world’s first novel” written in the early 11th century. You can now pre-order The Tale of Genji chocolate bar via our online store. We can’t wait for you to taste this unique flavor!

Les Misérables: White Cherry in Dark Chocolate

We're thrilled to announce we have a new flavor coming soon. Our Les Misérables chocolate bar will be black cherry in dark chocolate. It will become available on our online store late March/early April. You can preorder it now here!

Our Les Misérables chocolate bar is inspired by the character Fantine. In her youth, Fantine goes on an outing with her lover Tholomyès, her friends and their lovers. The four men and four women take a stroll through nature, enjoying the flowers and eating cherries. This outing soon turns sour when the four men “play a trick” on their mistresses and abandon them. Our chocolate bar contains the cherry of Fantine’s happy innocence and naiveté as well as the dark chocolate that represents her downfall.

We are collaborating with River-Sea Chocolates, for our Les Misérables bar. They are a bean-to-bar chocolate maker who uses organic and ethically sourced ingredients. The chocolate bar will contain 70% dark chocolate originating from Vietnam.
