Honey and caramel, but with real backbone. The Mélissa 45% Milk Chocolate Bar is the only milk chocolate in the François Pralus range of bars, crafted in Roanne from organic Criollo cacao of Madagascar, with 45% cocoa for a chocolate of genuine character. Its well-balanced notes of honey and caramel meet the depth and complexity that only a high-cocoa milk chocolate can offer. Melt it over crêpes or a poached pear, or enjoy a square with afternoon tea.

The Maker
Cocoa ripens under distant skies, and it is in France that it finds its voice. Chocolats Pralus was founded in 1948 in Roanne, France, on generations of pastry and chocolate-making expertise. Led by master chocolatier François Pralus, the house works bean to bar, starting from cocoa beans carefully selected from some of the world’s finest origins. Its range covers chocolate bars, including single-origin creations, as well as pralines, signature specialties, and gourmet confections. At François Pralus, traditional French craftsmanship and a taste for innovation go hand in hand, in pursuit of authentic flavor.
