… I want to travel! I want to go back to summer for an hour before the new year’s rush starts, to breathe in its floral aromas right now, to throw a coin into the fountain…I will definitely come back here! Tall lilac bushes, flowering almonds, and lavender, olive groves, century-old cypresses…
This is Provence, and this is the chocolate of the famous pastry chef-alchemist Joel Durand. Ganache with cold mint, ganache with Jasmine, ganache with sun-dried vanilla and strawberry honey…Each Joël Durand candy is the story of an artist who hails from Provence. Sweets with such bold duets (chocolate with lavender, thyme, cloves, nutmeg, olives) have unexpected and soft flavors. In short, nature takes the lead here, not chemistry, which is still characteristic of sweet exoticism. Do you like chocolate and are you ever going to come to Provence? Mark the city of Saint-Remy on the map (let’s start with the fact that Michel Nostradamus was born here and painted van Gogh), where, between pine forests and smoky fields, small chocolate masterpieces are created and immediately eaten. Each candy is numbered or bears the name of one of the letters of the alphabet. There are even punctuation marks, they were booked recipes with Basil, vervain, saffron, cinnamon. And don’t forget to buy gifts for your friends – a great chocolate-almond cream, jam from dates or peaches with rosemary, plum marmalade with pepper. Fruits, flowers, herbs, and chocolate are all together here-St Rémy de Provence, 3 bd Victor Hugo. You can also buy joël Durand sweets in Paris, 38 Rue de Sèvres is the 6th arrondissement.
