Our great ideas for choosing the right chocolate gift for Grandmothers' Day

Having trouble choosing the one or two that will melt your grandmother's heart among our various creations? Here are a few suggestions to help you find a chocolate gift as tender as she is. All our recipes are made using our homemade couverture chocolate, in our factory in Tours. Because we have a taste for things done well from start to finish, we choose our own cocoa beans from carefully selected producers. The blend is then carried out by our artisan chocolatiers to obtain unique flavors that will sweep you away from the first bite.

Give him a heart this big

What better way to say "I love you" to your grandmother than with a chocolate heart (almost) as big as the love you have for her? Our delightful heart-shaped mold, adorned with a delicate four-leaf clover design, hides an assortment of almond and hazelnut praline chocolates, one of the House's iconic specialties, and an assortment of almonds and hazelnuts coated in a milk and dark chocolate coating.

And because when it comes to love, we like to think big, we offer two sizes of hearts: a cute 160g milk chocolate heart, and a (very) large 420g dark chocolate heart for even more sweet treats to share.

Little hearts, little hearts, more little hearts

Want to give your beloved Grandma as many tokens of love as she's given you since childhood? Opt for our pretty bag of praline hearts, where you can pick and choose to enjoy together. These ultra-delicious little hearts in milk chocolate or signature dark chocolate are filled with praline, a House specialty. They owe their inimitable taste to traditional preparation methods, including cold grinding that enhances the flavors of caramelized dried fruits. A delight that you'll be sure to tell us about! So show me this bag of praline hearts

How far in advance can you buy chocolate for Grandmother's Day?

Made according to traditional recipes, our À la Mère de Famille chocolates keep very well away from light and humidity in their packaging, at a temperature close to 18°C. It is best to avoid placing them in the refrigerator, as this risks altering their aromas. To enjoy all their flavors, we advise you to buy them at least a few days before Grandmothers' Day, and to enjoy them within three weeks of your purchase.
