Timeless Recipes, Simple Elegance

Some chocolates have stood the test of time, becoming classics in the world of fine chocolate. These include:

✔ Palet d’Or – The gold standard of chocolatier craftsmanship: a simple, smooth dark chocolate ganache enrobed in more dark chocolate.

✔ Milk Chocolate Ganache (Palet Milk) – A velvety milk chocolate ganache, offering a softer, creamier take on this time-honored style.

✔ Sea Salt Caramels – A timeless favorite, balancing rich, buttery caramel with the pop of delicate sea salt.

M. Cacao’s Chocolatier Classics Collection brings together these familiar, beloved chocolates, crafted with the same high-quality ingredients and attention to detail as our more adventurous confections. Whether you prefer the comforting smoothness of milk chocolate ganache or the deep intensity of Palet d’Or, this collection is designed for those who appreciate the simple pleasure of fine chocolate — without the need for bold or unexpected flavors.

Both Palet d’Or and Palet Milk are classic chocolatier creations featuring silky ganache centers, but they offer two distinct experiences:

✔ Palet d’Or – A deep, rich dark chocolate ganache enrobed in more dark chocolate. This is the purest expression of fine chocolate, allowing the complexity of the cacao to shine.

✔ Palet Milk – A smooth, velvety milk chocolate ganache with a creamier, softer profile. The chocolate is gentler and rounder, making it an approachable favorite for those who love milk chocolate.

Both are staples of fine chocolatiers, with Palet d’Or traditionally considered the gold standard of ganache-making. M. Cacao’s Chocolatier Classics Collection brings both together, allowing you to experience the timeless elegance of chocolate, whether you prefer dark intensity or milk chocolate’s comforting smoothness.

Most classic chocolate assortments focus on familiar flavors, but M. Cacao’s Chocolatier Classics Collection is crafted with the same fine chocolate, precision, and technique as our more adventurous creations.

Here’s what sets it apart:

✔ Crafted with Fine Flavor Cacao – Unlike mass-market chocolate assortments, which often use commodity cacao bred for high yields rather than taste, we use fine flavor cacao sourced from Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, and Peru. This cacao represents less than 10% of the world’s chocolate supply and is valued for its complex, nuanced flavors—allowing even the simplest chocolates to shine.

✔ Pure, high-quality ingredients – No artificial flavorings or preservatives—just fine chocolate, fresh cream, and real caramel.

✔ Timeless flavors, refined – Instead of mass-produced chocolate fillings, we craft silky ganaches and hand-cut caramels that showcase the best of classic chocolatier techniques.

✔ A balance of intensity & approachability – From the deep chocolate richness of Palet d’Or to the smooth, comforting milk chocolate ganache of Palet Milk, this collection offers a range of flavors suited to every chocolate lover.

✔ Small-batch craftsmanship – Unlike store-bought chocolates that rely on industrial production, each piece in the Chocolatier Classics Collection is made with care and precision, ensuring a texture and flavor experience that’s simply unmatched. For those who love chocolate in its purest, most timeless forms, the Chocolatier Classics Collection is an elevated take on familiar favorites—crafted with an artisan’s touch.

Sea salt caramel has earned its place as a chocolatier classic because it strikes the perfect balance between sweetness and saltiness—creating a more complex, satisfying flavor experience.

✔ A balance of contrasts – The buttery richness of slow-cooked caramel paired with the delicate crunch of hand-harvested sea salt enhances both the sweetness and depth of the chocolate.

✔ A time-honored confection – While caramel has existed for centuries, the addition of sea salt to chocolate caramel became a modern chocolatier staple, thanks in part to French chocolatiers who refined the technique.

✔ Universally loved – Sea salt caramel is approachable yet sophisticated, making it a favorite among both casual chocolate lovers and fine chocolate enthusiasts.

M. Cacao’s Chocolatier Classics Collection features our take on this classic: silky, buttery caramel enrobed in fine chocolate, with just the right touch of sea salt to enhance every bite. Like all our chocolates, it’s made with no artificial flavors or preservatives — just pure, handcrafted excellence.
