Artisanal Award-Winning Bean-to-Bar Dark Chocolate Slab and Functional Marine Botanical Fruit-Infused Confectionery

The Chocolaterie Fays Dark Chocolate Bar with Strawberries and Royal Kombu brings an exceptional structural balance and luxurious tasting utility to fine confectionery collections, expertly engineered by Quebec master chocolatiers to celebrate the distinct flavors of local terroir.

Crafted as an emblematic entry in the acclaimed 'De la fève au terroir' collection, this artisanal bar features an award-winning Lumina 70% dark chocolate base custom-roasted in Quebec by Bassan, which proudly secured the silver medal at the International Chocolate Awards Americas 2023.

The biological chocolate blend utilizes an exceptional assemblage of Trinitario, Ecuadorian Nacional, and Venezuelan Criollo beans sourced through a transparent short-circuit supply chain, delivering captivating natural aromas of tropical fruits, golden honey, and roasted nuts with a brilliantly balanced, lightly acidic finish.

This sophisticated dessert accessory showcases an innovative, high-contrast structural pairing of land and sea ingredients sourced from premier Quebec producers.

Moving away from standard mass-market fruit bars that rely on synthetic flavor oils, this recipe incorporates premium freeze-dried Quebec strawberries from Lyo & Co to preserve optimal cellular nutrients and concentrated fruit sweetness, balanced beautifully by wild-harvested royal kombu seaweed from the Gaspé Peninsula.

Hand-harvested sustainably by Un Océan de Saveurs, the premium marine botanical brings a refined, slightly sweet and briny umami profile that mimics the culinary behavior of delicate fleur de sel.

The non-reactive, clean-label composition naturally forms an inclusive treat that is completely vegan-friendly and free of top-tier allergens, allowing fine food enthusiasts to explore true boreal chocolate-making traditions with complete peace of mind.
