Enjoy to your heart’s content 4 chocolate chips Chambéry Montagnes

No, it doesn’t come from the ocean, but from the mountains!

The Bauges Sea Urchin, with its characteristic fossil-like shape, designed by Gaël Jacob, hides beneath its crunchy shell a traditional almond and hazelnut praline centre, coated in a raspberry caramel that everyone loves.

One bite and you’ll be transported to the woodlands of the Bauges massif, where the wilderness inspires as much as it amazes.

And if you thought sea urchins were hard to catch, think again: this one disappears in the blink of an eye… especially if you leave it lying about at home.

Did you know that the stalagmites in Les Baugestake thousands of years to form?

Fortunately, the stalagmites from the Bauges Artisan Chocolate Geopark are ready to be enjoyed straight away! Inspired by the rock formations of the Bauges Geopark, this chocolate speciality is an invitation to explore… but without a head torch or wellies.

Beneath its delicately sculpted shell, the Stalagmite conceals a blackcurrant cream filling, reminiscent of the hidden treasures of the caves and grottoes of Les Bauges.

A taste adventure to be enjoyed with your eyes closed (or wide open, if you fancy another one!).

Lovers of Savoyard cheeses are no strangers to Tome des Bauges, that round, generous speciality that complements our winter cheese platters so well.

Benoît Arnault rose to the challenge of creating a chocolate version of it by inventing La Tomette du Nivolet. A treat that echoes the cheese’s iconic shape.

Beneath its smooth, glossy shell of gianduja chocolate lies a praline chocolate centre with walnut kernels, almond slivers and hazelnut pieces, evoking the bounty of our mountains and the authenticity of our region.

Less lactose, more cocoa: a Tome to be savoured without bread, but with immense pleasure.
