Bonnat Chocolate from Voiron, France

Bonnat, a family-run company in Voiron, France, has been handed down from generation to generation for over 130 years. The company is currently headed by the founder’s great-grandson, Stéphane Bonnat. Founded in the late 19th century by Felix Bonnat, the company’s first successful chocolate was Pavés de Voiron, cube-shaped pralines wrapped in foil that became an instant hit. Over the years, their selection expanded to include many types of chocolate. In 1983, they began manufacturing chocolate bars made solely with cocoa beans from the same origin. Today, Stéphane collaborates with partners to source the finest cocoa beans in Africa and Asia, and spends several months each year visiting Peru, Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador, Haiti, and Cuba in search of rare cocoa species. Bonnat’s selection includes a blend of creamy milk chocolate bars, as well as velvety-rich single origin dark chocolate. Each bar is named for the region where the cocoa beans used to manufacture the chocolate was sourced.

Chocolat Bonnat's Bean-To-Bar Process

Crafting Excellence

If Stéphane Bonnat’s vision begins with understanding the terroirs, the cultivation of beans and the well-being of the families of planters, it continues with the rigorous production of a high-end chocolate: natural and of a quality impossible to obtain by industrial processes. Stéphane’s choice is to do everything to obtain a perfection that exalts the taste and beneficial virtues of each origins’ cocoa. He roasts and works with his beans on site. He is also one of the few to practice 48 hours of conching, which allows the process to express its values while removing its acidity and astringent roughness. Thanks to the conching process and the exclusive use of cocoa butter, his true artisanal chocolate does not need additives to rectify its flavor or texture. This means that for the bars, or the delicate covering of the chocolates, Bonnat chocolate bars are made of cocoa, cocoa butter, sugar…and that’s it!

Chocolat Bonnat Java Indonesia 65% Milk Chocolate Bar

“Another winner–I would not buy these in 5 packs if I did not think they were amazing (all of the Chocolat Bonnat milk chocolates I have tried). The first time I tried this chocolate it had distinct coffee undertones to me, although that faded a bit when I was not doing a single origin comparison tasting. This is a great choice for anyone who wants the silky mouthfeel of milk chocolate with an intense chocolate experience.”
