Bienvenue Bonnat

---

 

The Bonnat family have been making chocolate in Voiron, France for over 130 years so it is about time we welcome the iconic Chocolat Bonnat to our chocolate library.

Bonnat describes itself as the beautiful love story between one family and chocolate, and we are sure you will fall in love with their beautifully smooth, rich bars.

Having been pioneering the creation of single origin chocolate since the 1980’s, Bonnat now works with an astounding 35 different plantations worldwide. Whatever the origin, all their dark chocolate bars follow a simple formula: each is 75% cocoa and is made purely from cocoa, cocoa butter and sugar.

We are delighted to bring you a wonderful range of their single origin bars, from Mexico to Madagascar to Sri Lanka.

Bonnat – Porcelana Venezuela

Made from the highly prized Porcelana beans, the purest strain of Criollo, this bar is smooth and sweet with delicate and balanced flavour. There is a slight effervescence at the finish, which just hints of lemon sherbet.

Bonnat – Trinite

This indulgently thick bar is beyond satisfying to bite into. The characteristically smooth texture we expect from Bonnat melts into a chocolatey, and almost astringent flavour, with notes of sour cherry at the finish.

Bonnat – Libanio

Characteristically smooth with the satisfying bite we’ve grown to love from this maker. This fragrantly smokey bar melts off into a sharp finish, with notes of key lime pie, and an almost rosey undertone.

Bonnat – Hacienda El Rosario

This Venezuelan bar has sweet and vegetal aroma, almost reminiscent of sugar snap peas. There is an initial spicy hit of green peppers, which develops into a warmer heat similar to pink peppercorns.

Bonnat – Equateur

With both the earthy flavours of a good Ecuadorian bar and the buttery smoothness typical of Bonnat, this bar is an absolute classic. The vegetable notes cut through the bar’s richness before giving way to a hit of sweet carrots on the finish.

Bonnat – Vale do Juliana

The Juliana plantation is located in the heart of the protected Pratigi zone in Brazil. As expected of Bonnat,  this is an incredible smooth, and creamy bar. The initial richness has a roasted flavour with hints of  coffee, which give way to sweet, vegetal notes reminiscent of sweet potato.

Bonnat – Madagascan Criollo 100% , cocoa 75%

This bar is made exclusively of Madagascan Criollo beans. Criollo beans comprise only about 5% of the world’s cocoa harvest. As result, Criollo beans are highly prized and priced – making this bar from Bonnat a truly special treat.

Bonnat – Madagascar

In this typically smooth and creamy Bonnat, the fruity notes you would expect from a Madagascan bar, are mixed with fudge. Rather than a burst of fresh berries, we tasted caramelised, almost burnt raisins.

Bonnat – 100%
