Recommended for Tasting: Five Types of Chocolate Bars

In ancient Mesoamerica, cacao was mixed with herbs and used as medicine. In past Europe, it was under the purview of pharmacists, with various prescriptions issued depending on ailments. In recent years, research into chocolate has advanced, revealing that it is rich in components effective against fatigue and stress caused by heat. This understanding is growing in Europe.

Jean-Paul Hévin's "Ordonnance d'été / Summer Prescription" features a lineup of tablets (chocolate bars) made with generous amounts of high-quality, carefully selected cacao. Each is designed to allow you to naturally incorporate cacao while tasting them side-by-side. Five types are available, including "Paves Parisiens Dégustation Terroir," which lets you compare different cacao origins.



Also available are "Paves Parisiens Dégustation Tour du Monde," made with cacao from various regions such as Madagascar, Cuba, and Venezuela; "Paves Parisiens Dégustation Vertical," allowing you to taste chocolates with different cacao percentages; and "Paves Parisiens Dégustation Assortiment," a selection of tablets with added flavors.

Additionally, at stores with the "Bar à Chocolat" eat-in space, a menu will be offered featuring these five tasting selections paired with drinks like chocolat glacé.



A well-deserved reward for your body after a summer of play and work. Why not overcome the lingering heat with the comforting sweetness and bitterness of chocolate, not just for women, but for men too?
