Everything started here. The Fortissima 80% Dark Chocolate Bar was the first recipe created in Roanne by master chocolatier François Pralus, and it is one of his rare blends, uniting three iconic cacao varieties for maximum complexity: Criollo for deep cocoa notes, Forastero for fruity intensity, and Trinitario for tartness and a hint of smokiness. At 80% cocoa, it is bold, powerful, and uncompromising. For lovers of intensity, a square with a black coffee or a single malt.

At François Pralus, traditional French craftsmanship and a taste for innovation go hand in hand, in pursuit of authentic flavor.
