Christmas is a time of indulgence, and that includes chocolate! But rather than snaffling the first box you can lay your hands on this year, why not treat yourself – or better yet, someone special – to a truly decadent gift?
If you’re on the lookout for that edible gift that is sure to impress, then it doesn’t get much better than exquisite gourmet chocolate brand, zChocolat.
Offering a mouth-watering line of the finest French chocolates you’re ever likely to taste, zChocolat was founded by Frenchman, Jean-Philippe Khodara, 17 years ago in his hometown of Aix-en-Provence, South of France – and, with the help of renowned World Champion Chocolatier Pascal Caffet, it has quickly earned the respect of chocolate lovers around the globe.
The range was born when founder, Jean-Philippe realised what a fantastic vehicle would be for making his dream come true, providing luxury gourmet chocolates made with the utmost care and attention to customers around the globe – making them accessible to everyone, and not just those residing in France. But, to have any chance of success in a world saturated with new start-ups, Jean-Philippe realised that it was imperative to distinguish his brand from the masses with beautiful packaging, inspired gift customization and unrivalled customer service.
To this day, he ensures that the business adheres to the philosophy that the quality and responsiveness of customer service must meet the same impeccable standards of its products – and today, logistics are entirely conducted in Forcalquier, one hour from zChocolat’s headquarters in downtown Aix-en-Provence, and entirely in-house.
It all sounds rather impressive…but what about the chocolates themselves?.
Made with all-natural, high-quality ingredients, this is certainly not just any old chocolate. zChocolat’s unique offerings are available in 26 mouth-watering flavour variations that have helped it to win the devotion of over 180,000 customers worldwide, and it has quickly established itself as one of a select group of brands available in over 200 countries across the globe. 225, to be exact – and with over 2M€ of online sales recorded to date, it is clear that the world’s ongoing love affair with fine French chocolate is showing no signs of fizzling out.
From the moment you bite into your very first chocolate, the commitment to quality ingredients and epicurean excellence is clear. Add to that the sophisticated packaging, elegant artisanal details and boundless options for customisation, and the result is a line of products both boldly luxurious and uncompromisingly “chic à la française.” Each zChocolat is painstakingly handmade with zealous adherence to French tradition: no alcohol, preservatives or colouring, a high cocoa content, low sugar and 100% pure cocoa butter.
Feeling tempted yet? Just in time for festive shoppers, the brand has now unveiled its mouth-watering, gold-themed Christmas 2016 collection, which comes presented in stunning Christmas-themed boxes adorned with a unique interpretation of the Christmas tree.
The ‘Sapphire with One Gold Chocolate’ features a single signature recipe “Z” chocolate coated in nearly 2 leaves of pure food-grade 24-karat gold, surrounded by 14 of the most requested milk and dark chocolate recipes, while the ‘Gold Sapphire’ extends the midas touch even further – featuring 15 gilded chocolates covered in a cumulative 28 leaves of edible 24-karat gold.
Both are packaged in solid mahogany boxes that are perfect for zChocolat refills – so they really do become the gift that keeps on giving!
Delicious and sparkly; the perfect combination for a holiday gift. And, if you’re looking to impress someone in a way that conveys elegance and good taste, then you’ve found it.
