Allo Simonne - Dark Chocolate Gianduja with Buckwheat & Melilot Flowers

Great Taste Award-winner 2025 Origin & CraftsmanshipHandmade in Montreal, this limited-edition gianduja bar is a labor of love. Allo Simonne blends roasted hazelnut praline with dark chocolate (70%) and even Jaguar dark chocolate (a white cacao variety, Theobroma bicolor) for added depth. The recipe incorporates roasted buckwheat seeds and melilot flower (sweet clover), which is wild-harvested in Quebec and adds a delicate floral, vanilla-like aroma to the mix. The result is a crunchy, wild-flower forward chocolate bar with distinct texture and nuance.  Flavor ProfileYou’ll get the rich roast of hazelnut praline followed by the dark chocolate’s bittersweet cocoa bite. The Jaguar white cacao lends a subtle creaminess and exotic note against the 70% dark base. Crunch of buckwheat adds a toasted grain quality, while the melilot flower brings a whisper of sweet vanilla-and-honey aroma, softening and lifting the darker tones. Altogether, it’s both bold and delicate in harmony.  Tasting
