Pralus – Mélissa 45% Milk

About the bar

A smooth and sweet 45% milk chocolate from French maker François Pralus. Made from Javan Criollo beans. This chocolate has a wonderful creamy and chocolatey flavour with hints of banana, caramel and honey.

About the maker

Pralus has been making patisserie and baked treats in Roanne, France, since 1948. Auguste Pralus quickly became famous for his Praluline, a gorgeous brioche packed with rose-sugar-coated pieces of almonds and hazelnuts. Auguste’s son François is now at the helm, and Pralus has become famous the world over for its fabulous chocolate. François is a master chocolate maker – he’s always on the lookout for new cocoa beans and has recently bought his own farm on the Madagascan island of Nosy Be.

The beans

The beans are grown, harvested, and fermented with care and then roasted and transformed into a delightful chocolate in his Roanne facility. Good aromatic intensity, well balanced, vanilla and caramel aromas, mild and milky spices. 45% cocoa content – a high percentage of cocoa for a milk chocolate (the average runs about 30%).
