La Maison du Chocolat Unveils INSOLITE Collection
La Maison du Chocolat, renowned for its mastery and artistry since its establishment in Paris in 1977, is set to launch a captivating new collection titled
INSOLITE in Japan. This innovative series promises to take chocolate lovers on an unparalleled taste adventure, starting on
July 3, 2025, with its debut offering,
INSOLITE Curry.
The
INSOLITE collection is the brainchild of
Nicolas Cloiseau, the brand's Chef Patissier and Chocolatier and a recipient of the esteemed M.O.F. (Meilleur Ouvrier de France) title in Chocolatier. This unique collection embodies his boundless curiosity and passion for discovery, delivering surprises in every bite. The first edition,
INSOLITE Curry, combines a base of almond and hazelnut praline with the rich, spicy essence of Indian curry, creating a mellow yet intriguing flavor profile.
A Symphony of Flavors
INSOLITE Curry is not just a chocolate; it's an experience. Each piece is crafted with caramelized nuts and cocoa butter, infused with curry spices directly blended into the mixture. This meticulous process results in a vibrant burst of fruity nuances from the Indian spices, perfectly balanced by the delightful crunch of the nuts, creating an unexpected yet harmonious taste sensation.
As you taste, the journey begins with a wave of
cocoa flavor paired with spices, transitioning into the
rich nuttiness, and culminating in a lingering,
spicy finish that leaves a memorable impression.

INSOLITE Curry exclusively at La Maison du Chocolat's boutiques and its online store. This limited-edition treat will be available for
