 Great Taste Award-winner 2025

Origin & Craftsmanship
Handcrafted in Montréal, this bar is a luxurious blend of roasted hazelnut praline, whole roasted hazelnuts sourced locally in Ontario, and rich Jaguar dark chocolate. It’s coated with a thin layer of 70% dark chocolate made from beans of the Zorzal Reserve in the Dominican Republic. Allo Simonne’s attention to quality—from choosing premium nuts and cacao to their minimal-ingredient philosophy—makes this bar stand out. 

Flavor Profile
The texture delivers satisfyingly crunchy whole hazelnuts with a creamy, nutty praline center. The Jaguar chocolate contributes a smooth cocoa depth, while the 70% dark coating provides bittersweet contrast. Hints of vanilla and sea salt round things off, balancing richness and complexity. 

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a piece melt slowly to first experience the creamy praline and whole hazelnut crunch, followed by the bold cocoa richness from the Jaguar and 70% dark chocolate. Pair with a robust espresso or rich French press coffee to offset the sweetness and highlight the chocolate's depth. For a non-alcoholic option, try a nut-forward black tea or roasted oat milk latte. If you want something savory, pair with a slice of aged gouda or salted pecorino to contrast the cocoa’s bittersweet tones. A dessert pairing could be chocolate mousse or vanilla panna cotta for a creamy, complementary flavor experience.

Summary

The Gianduja with Whole Hazelnuts bar by Allo Simonne is a celebration of texture, depth, and flavor harmony. Crunchy hazelnuts and smooth praline sit under a bold chocolate shell, making it a satisfying treat for those who love indulgent dark chocolate with nutty lift. Crafted with integrity, premium ingredients, and artisan care.
