Mauve · The Marshmallow

Mauve is our only recipe without praline. At its heart, an airy bourbon vanilla marshmallow. Around it, the grand cru dark couverture, as everywhere else. A house that masters the hazelnut must also know how to do its opposite.

— The experience —

Mauve runs against the grain of the rest of the collection: no praline, no hazelnut at its heart. Just an airy marshmallow set within a grand cru couverture. Sweetness lived in slow motion. To be served at the very end of a tasting, over a sweet wine or an aged rum.

Ideal tasting temperature · 18 to 20 °C

— Cocktails —

With alcohol

• Bellini reimagined with rose
• Vodka, lychee and orange blossom cocktail
• Bourbon vanilla Old Fashioned
• Elderflower Spritz

Without alcohol

• Cold-brewed white tea
• Rose water and pomegranate mocktail
• Hibiscus and white peach infusion

Mauve calls for round, sensual pairings. The sweetness of the chocolate converses with residual sugars (sweet wines, dessert wines) or with vanilla-laced spirits. Avoid pronounced bitterness and overly taut bubbles.

One Larme Mauve ≈ 3 g. A lighter profile than the other recipes: the airy marshmallow replaces the praline, the heart is less rich in fat but naturally sweeter.

— Our story —

Mauve draws inspiration from the world of perfume, from floral delicacy and French sophistication. A creation conceived around sensuality and softness. The recipe that proves a chocolate house can also know how to fall silent.
