A world first: Grand Cru Absolu - an intense chocolate experience made from just two ingredients

It's a chocolate experience unlike any other

22-May-2020 - Switzerland

As a pioneer in grand cru chocolate in Switzerland, Sprüngli launched a world first: Grand Cru Absolu - an intense chocolate experience made from just two ingredients. Sprüngli uses Bolivian single-origin cacao beans and juice from the cacao fruit to handcraft dark chocolate truffles and outstanding macarons. It's a chocolate experience unlike any other, and a truly unique taste for connoisseurs and chocolate lovers alike.

Grand Cru - absolute enjoyment

The deliberate use of single-origin cacao beans gives the Grand cru chocolate an intense and sophisticated flavour. To make Grand Cru Absolu, small-scale farmers hand-pick rare cacao fruits and their beans which boast a fruity-citrus and intense chocolate flavour. Only the naturally sweet, aromatic juice coming from the white pulp of the cacao fruit is added. Sprüngli has united these two components to create a pure, raw chocolate experience with a fruity and intensely dark character.
