Driven by its passion for gustatory truth, the Manufacture CLUIZEL mobilizes its talents and turns away from uniformity and artifice.
In her eyes, natural chocolate is a rough diamond that just needs to be cut, and there she defends the vision of a chocolate which is defined by the authenticity and the singularity of its taste.
By adapting its working methods and its creative processes to the specificities of the cocoa beans it uses, it defends its virtue and the richness of its essence that it keeps unchanged.
This daily commitment is reflected in each of its innovations, always designed to magnify chocolates without sacrificing them, and in each of its partnerships.
The Manufacture is therefore committed to restoring its independence to chocolate, the sole master of its taste, its shapes and its strength.
For example, it offers lovers of original chocolates bars with aromatic profiles so rich and complex that they supplant the originality of all the others.
With the 300 referenced taste notes that it is able to offer, the Manufacture knows that chocolate is sufficient on its own.
After studying it for a long time, it magnifies what it offers naturally. It expresses its essence.

Company's history
Michel Cluizel is a French Chocolate Manufacturer since 1948. For three generations the Cluizel family as evolved amidts fragrances of chocolate. With the help of skilled Cacaofèviers, confectioners and chocolate makers, the family carries on with their tradition, where everything started: in Damville, Normandy. The Manufacture Cluizel developed a direct, sustainable relation with cocoa planters.
A genuine, natural taste, this is what the self demanding chocolaterie always strives for. To achieve this, cocoa beans are fermented according to a skillfully controlled technique, at the planter's premises. Then everything is made at the Manufacture Cluizel: from the slow roasting process, to the subtle decorations which are often handmade.

Excellence of taste
The Manufacture Cluizel is at the origin of a quality commitment unique in the world: the commitment "noble ingredients". Which ensures the selection of raw material and guarantees to the trade professionals that only pure cocoa butter, bourbon vanilla in pods, and sugar are used in the composition of the recipe. The chocolate are guaranteed to be without soy or added aroma in the process of fabrication.
Further, the Manufacture Cluizel has undertaken an important step in the removal of the colourings E171 and E172 from its products, in order to guarantee to its customers a product even more pure and natural.
Human Friendly
The company’s approach lies in developing direct relations with renowned planters from Mexico, Santo Domingo, São Tomé, Madagascar and more recently Brazil. Our chocolates are thus the fruit of a close and sustainable collaboration, founded on communication and respect.
The very special relationship we have had with our planters for over 7 years now, enables us to guarantee the best possible cocoa traceability. The cocoa beans are sent directly by the producers to the workshops of the Manufacture. It takes several months to achieve an outstanding combination fermentation-roasting.
We have endeavored to find renowned plantations in the most reputable cocoa-producing countries, in order to create '1ers Crus de Plantation'®. This specific approach enables us to find the best cocoa beans in the world. Our '1ers Crus de Plantation'®chocolates intensify the aromatic potential of each terroir through an adequate manufacturing process and a unique production skill. They enable us to create an intense aromatic range.
