ICONIC
-
Our iChocolates are the first and only gourmet chocolates in the world resembling smartPhone app icons, boxed in a unique smartPhone-inspired package.
Thanks to our "Chocographics" technology developed in France, the country of gastronomy, the cute icons you are familiar with on your screen are what you really eat.
We have reached vivid colours and a level of details that were never seen before on such tiny and fragile chocolate pieces.
-
--------------------
DELECTABLE
-
Our chocolate coating is made with extra-dark, 100% cocoa butter chocolate only.
-
You will get an assortment of 4 flavours, composed from the following families and origins: 'Fleur de Sel' caramel, pure cocoa ganaches from Ecuador and Caribbean islands, coffee, crackling hazelnuts ('praliné feuillantine'), sweet almonds.
-
--------------------
NUTRITIONAL FACTS
-
NO artificial flavours, NO industrial flavour enhancers. NO artificial coloring in our fillings.
-
NO alcohol, NO pork fat.
-
► Our chocolates are not suitable for food allergy sufferers (may contain hazelnuts).
► Our chocolates are not suitable for vegetarians (contain milk products). They are suitable for Lacto-vegetarians.
-
--------------------
ORGANIC + FAIR TRADE
-
Our chocolates are made from organic ingredients and are certified organic by Certisys (a European Union certification body, established for more than 20 years).
That means for you that our chocolates are not only cute to the eyes but also good for your health: GMO-free, ionization-free, they do not contain preservatives nor artificial flavors.
-
Our chocolates are 100% pure cocoa butter and do not contain palm oil (destroying the forests where tigers and big apes live).
-
Our chocolates are also Fair Trade certified, under the Max Havelaar label. Fair trade chocolate means that the cocoa farmer earns a guaranteed wage. Thus, he can produce a better quality product.
-
--------------------
HANDMADE
-
Our icon set is an original creation inspired by our favorite smartphone, stylized, vividly colored and adapted to meet the chocolate coating requirements by a young and talented iconist (icon designer).
-
Then, each icon is cut and set chocolate piece by chocolate piece, just as a jeweller would do.
-
--------------------
DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND SUNLIGHT AND SHIPPING
-
::: EXCLUSIVE ::: Thanks to our specific glossy coating (originating from prestigious gourmet shows), our chocolates melt in the mouth, not on your fingers.
This all-natural coating also enables the iChocolates to resist indirect sunlight exposure, even on spring or summer days, without melting or whitening. That makes iChocolates a perfect corporate gift.
-
::: EXCLUSIVE ::: Inside each of our chocolates, the double-layered architecture designed by our Chef Chocolatier is also unique, ensuring the chocolates are shipped safely to your front door and can be stored as long as mainstream chocolates, but without the need of industrial preservatives.
-
::: EXCLUSIVE ::: Our packaging has been specifically designed to prevent shakes during shipping. Unsatisfied with the standard moulded trays, we have developed 'unibody' water-cut foam trays, to keep each chocolate perfectly stable during shipping.
