In a world where most branded chocolate has more hype than Hardcopy, simplicity suddenly has an haute appeal.
Chocolaterie de la Nouvelle France makes its confections using pure French chocolate (known to be less sugary and fatty than Swiss or Belgian) sold by the cocoa’s single origin (Ghana, Venezuela or Mexico).
In sticks or elegant squares, chocolates are flavoured with fleur de sel, lavender, chilies or almonds, and each pretty white box is sealed with a red wax fleur-de-lis.
Now that’s what we call no logo cocoa.
Prices by weight (our 14 chocolates were $10). Open Wednesday-Saturday, Chocolaterie de la Nouvelle France, 198 E. 21st Ave. (at Main St.), Vancouver, 604-566-1065, www.
