72% Cherry Almond Dark Milk Chocolate Bar | L'Amourette Chocolate
The 72% Cherry Almond Chocolate Bar from L'Amourette Chocolate brings together natural dried cherries, crunchy California salted almonds, and chocolate made with Venezuelan Trinitario cacao beans. The cherries' sour-sweet character meets the savory crunch of almonds, with cacao bringing the flavors together.
A personal favorite of the maker, Andre V, this recipe took shape through a long period of experimentation. Follow his pairing suggestion and enjoy a piece alongside a warm cup of white tea or jasmine green tea.
Sour-sweet cherries complement the crunchy bite of salted almonds, enveloped in Venezuelan Trinitario chocolate. Fruit, salt, and crunch come together in a bar made for slow savoring. The cherries and almonds are added ingredients, not simply tasting notes.
Every bar you choose supports the farming families who grow it and honors the traditional methods that make it extraordinary.
This is chocolate with purpose — sourced with intention, crafted with care, and curated for those who believe that true luxury and ethical responsibility can coexist beautifully.
❤️ Impact: A portion of proceeds supports Survivor-Led Solutions, a nonprofit dedicated to restoring dignity and hope to survivors of human trafficking.
Is L’Amourette bean-to-bar chocolate?
Handcrafted in San Francisco, L’Amourette Chocolat brings together a European chocolatier’s perspective, carefully selected cacao, and California-grown fruits and nuts. Led by chocolatier and artist Andre V, this small, family-owned company believes exceptional chocolate should be made without compromise and enjoyed by more people.
Behind L’Amourette is Andre V, a European chocolatier and artist with more than a decade of experience working with gourmet craft chocolate. His approach pairs a commitment to quality with a simple belief: fine chocolate should not be reserved for a privileged few.
L’Amourette makes its own chocolate in San Francisco. Its Gold line is single-origin and crafted from bean to bar in its own facility using Fino de Aroma cacao beans, cocoa butter, and vegan cane sugar. That bean-to-bar distinction applies specifically to the Gold line.
Carefully prepared California ingredients add another dimension to the maker’s work. For its Orange and Pomelo Peel bars, L’Amourette purchases California-grown fruit from a farmers’ market just the day before preparation. The peel is cut into tiny pieces to complement the chocolate’s richness without overwhelming it. Its Cherries and Almonds bars feature sun-dried California cherries without sulphur dioxide and salted whole California almonds.
L’Amourette describes building personal relationships with its cocoa sources and purchasing directly rather than through cocoa resellers. Alongside that cacao sourcing approach, the maker selects California-grown nuts and fruits for its inclusion bars, bringing thoughtful ingredient preparation to each pairing.
