La Maison Du Chocolat 2024 galette des Rois: Reine Mandarine

Cocoa lovers make no mistake. ForEpiphany 2024, a chocolate galette des rois is a must! And it's just the thing, since the Maison du Chocolat is offering us, as it does every year, a fine chocolate discovery to get our taste buds tingling at the start of 2024.

This year, we discover an exceptional creation: Galette Reine Mandarine. Available in stores and online from January 3 to 21, 2024, this galette combines tradition and innovation.

This year, renowned master chocolatier Nicolas Cloiseau reinvents the traditional galette with a Mediterranean twist. Sicilian mandarin, a vibrant, juicy citrus fruit, is harmoniously combined with an intense 75% dark chocolate ganache. The meeting of these flavors creates a unique sensation, where the tangy freshness of the mandarin blends perfectly with the depth of the chocolate.

This galette features a rich almond cream, softened by a mandarin custard, offering a subtle balance between sweetness and acidity. The whole is wrapped in a crisp, delicately caramelized puff pastry of pure extra-fine Charentes-Poitou PDO butter.
