Each of their cocoa vintages comes from a specific terrior, all with their own exclusive flavor profile. Similar to the wine-making world, Millésime’s aspirations include promoting naturing processes which flavors that change year-to-year while keeping the basic characteristics of each region/country.
Millésime only uses cocoa beans from environmentally friendly plantations that do not engage in intensive farming. All beans Millésime works with come from non-modified strains carrying ancestral genes of cocoa, ensuring the complete tracability from the beans to finished chocolate, and they only work with plantations that engage in sustainable agriculture.
