Nanou's 6-Piece 'Nutty Crunch' Chocolates in reusable tin box (Absinthe)

The Chocolates

As a French ex-pat, it seemed only natural that Nanou would choose classic French artwork to grace the lids of her tins. The six assorted chocolates within each tin are filled with nuts that change with the seasons, and are always on display at our stores in Alameda and Montclair so you can see the latest assortment. But take it from one who knows all too well, they're all delicious!

The Producer

Nanou's motto is "Create irresistible vegan chocolates, exquisite first to the eyes, second to the olfactive sense and last to the taste buds". She combines beauty and flavor to provide a feast for all your senses and uplift your mood.

Nanou’s lab is based in her home in Oakland, California, an official cottage food operation approved by the Alameda County Department of Environmental Health. All her chocolates are made of unprocessed, plant-based ingredients.

Nanou is a chocoholic with a preference for dark chocolate. She feels it is her professional obligation to have her daily intake of chocolates, assessing their delicate color, their inviting aroma, unique texture and audacious flavors. It's all about quality control, she says. And research.

From carefully seeking out fruity, spicy, bitter and more nuances of chocolate , selecting freshly roasted nuts, limiting the amount of sugar and boosting the filling flavors with coffee, tea or fruit, Nanou’s purpose is to raise your chocolate expectations to new heights.

Pairing these with coffee, tea or wine achieves their ultimate pleasure.
