Chocolate and saffron share a remarkable aromatic complexity. Bringing them together calls for a precise balance: enough saffron for it to come through, never so much that it overwhelms the chocolate. Several trials were needed to reach just the right measure. In La Safrane, the milk chocolate opens the tasting with its sweetness and silkiness; the saffron then appears, more discreetly, extending the cocoa with its warm, floral and delicately honeyed notes.
A centuries-old spice traditionally associated with cooking and pastry-making, saffron finds an unexpected new expression here. Infused at the heart of the milk chocolate, its aromas soften and reveal a particularly indulgent facet: floral, honeyed and lightly spiced notes that naturally echo the sweetness of the cocoa. A contemporary take on a spice used for thousands of years.
The recipe for La Safrane was created exclusively for Artisans du Levant in collaboration with Valrhona's chocolate-making expertise. On one side, a milk chocolate selected for its balance and finesse. On the other, our saffron, grown on the Ararat plain, hand-picked flower by flower and patiently trimmed. Two precious ingredients, two gestures, two crafts meeting in a singular creation between Armenia and France.
A soft, milky and melting first taste. Then, gradually, the floral and lightly honeyed notes of saffron unfold. A long, delicately spiced finish, where the saffron lingers on the palate without ever masking the chocolate.
