By giving the Petites Rochettes, your recipient will experience the irresistible flavor of roasted almonds combined with the subtle aroma of candied orange peels and bittersweet chocolate. Handmade by the renowned Voisin chocolatiers based in Lyon, France, the divine and sophisticated confections are delicately crunchy and simply unforgettable. They are packaged in a gift box featuring a drawing of the city of Lyon and tied with a golden string. The box is 5.7‘’ high and holds approximately 30 pieces. (8.81 oz)

At the end of the 19th century, in the city of Lyon, a man of the name of Léon Voisin, using his vast knowledge of coffee and tea trades, started creating shops specializing in the sale of tropical products coming from French colonies of Africa and Asia. During that time, every grocery man still roasted coffee beans himself in front of his shop. After World War 1, Léon Voisin created in Lyon the first Voisin shop that roasted not only coffee beans but also cocoa beans. That is how the chocolate shop Voisin was born. Léon Voisin hired a man called Joseph Boucaud as his director and today, the Boucaud's fourth generation is still taking care of this family business that continues to make coffee, tea, and high-end chocolates.

Ingredients: sugar, cocoa, split roasted almonds, candied orange peels (orange peels, sugar, corn syrup, citric acid).
