Tasting Notes from the Curator

This exquisite milk chocolate delight from Comptoir de Mathilde is more than just a sweet indulgence; it’s a sensory journey that conjures the heartwarming aroma of freshly baked gingerbread and the luxurious elegance of premium milk chocolate. Upon opening the packaging, an inviting bouquet of creamy milk chocolate intertwined with subtle vanilla notes immediately captures one’s olfactory senses. This aromatic experience is further enriched by the nostalgic fragrance of classic gingerbread spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of clove, evoking memories of festive holiday kitchens.

Upon tasting, the sweetness of the milk chocolate serves as the dominant yet perfectly balanced flavor profile, which gently melts on the tongue with a velvety texture. The inclusion of gingerbread men introduces a delightful tapestry of warm, rich spices that offer complexity and depth with their molasses undertones. Complementing these are the delightful crispy beads scattered throughout the bar, providing a subtle toasted flavor and a contrast in texture that enhances the overall sensory experience. This chocolate not only stands out for its flavor but also for its unique ability to capture the essence of holiday nostalgia, making it a versatile confection to be savored on festive occasions or as a comforting personal treat.

    Comptoir de Mathilde - A Culinary Treasure Hunt

In 2007, Richard Fournier embarked on a culinary adventure that would honor his grandmother Mathilde’s enduring legacy. Starting without a traditional storefront, Fournier described his brand’s journey as akin to a “treasure hunt,” revealing challenges, discoveries, and a steadfast dedication to fine food. The brand, Comptoir de Mathilde, fuses his family’s rich chocolate-making heritage with a bold vision to make French culinary traditions accessible to all.

Nestled in the fertile lands of Nyons, a region famed for its agricultural heritage, the brand draws inspiration from local cuisine but with a twist of innovation. It started as a small delicatessen, focusing on bulk products but soon pivoted into crafting artisanal gourmet items. This commitment to faithfulness in tradition and relentless innovation has established Comptoir de Mathilde as a leader in gourmet chocolates.

From the whimsical packaging to a diverse range of flavors, the brand stands as a tribute to its roots while embracing a playful, modern spirit. Richard’s journey blends respect for the old with the excitement of the new, making each chocolate creation from Comptoir de Mathilde a story worth sharing at any gathering.
