Iron box filled with Arabica beans

The little story: this box was created in 1922 as a tribute to Marcel Proust, one of DEBAUVE & GALLAIS 'most loyal customers. In "Le Side de chez Swann", the famous writer studies what you feel when you taste a real delicacy. This dish was not a chocolate, as everyone knows, but a madeleine, a kind of sweet cake that perfectly accompanies black tea. This gives the idea to DEBAUVE & GALLAIS to make a "Madeleine" chocolate composed of two shells molded above and then filled with praline and pasted on top of one another. These chocolates being smaller than madeleines, they were naturally called Les Petites Madeleines. Allergens Presence of nuts, milk, eggs, peanuts, gluten and soy.

This ganache, crème brûlée coated in dark chocolate, in the shape of fleur de lys, was created for the festivities of the official coronation of King Charles X at the cathedral of Reims in 1825. It was covered with gold leaf, as are still the Palets d'Or. Charles X was strongly in favor of restoring all the traditional values of the monarchy and unlike his brother Louis XVIII, he decided to be crowned like the ancient kings of France. He ordered chocolates for the occasion... Allergens Presence of nuts, milk, eggs, peanuts, gluten and soy.
