Sale Sold out

These old-fashioned chocolates capture the charm of confectionery from another era: a soft fondant, hand-worked on marble and delicately scented with rose, violet and mint.

Coated in chocolate and finished with a rose petal, a violet or a small mint leaf, each fondant is cut and finished entirely by hand, without the use of moulds. The result is small, one-of-a-kind chocolates that preserve the elegance and authenticity of a craft handed down through time.

FAQ

What flavours are included in the assortment?

Old-fashioned chocolates combine the enveloping notes of dark chocolate with delicate floral aromas.

You can note any preference when ordering; otherwise, the box will include all three flavours.
