Dear Clients and Partners,
For over 75 years, our Manufacture has been crafting exceptional chocolates in line with our commitment to using Noble Ingredients and our CSR engagement. Every chocolate we create carries our unique sensory and taste signature: the authentic taste of CLUIZEL.
This year, we continue our quest for excellence with two new creations that expand our range and meet your expectations in terms of flavor and innovation :
• The Grand Cru Akomnyada Dark Chocolate 66%, sourced from the fertile lands of Cameroon. Behind this exceptional chocolate, a result of our new partnership with the Committed Chocolatiers Club, lies new chocolate-working techniques. Developed by our Manufacture, these techniques bring out previously unexplored aromatic profiles. Its complete traceability ensures impeccable quality and absolute transparency.
•The Diaphane neutral and transparent glaze, an innovation designed to enhance all your creations: whether glazes, coatings, jellies, coulis, or sweet and savory sauces, this polyvalent product adapts to all professional uses.
For several months now, the price of cocoa has reached historic levels. In response to this situation, we chose to remain true to our values, our commitments, and our recipes: to offer you chocolates of impeccable quality with a true and authentic taste.
We thank you for your trust and loyalty. Together, let’s continue to push the boundaries of flavor and elevate your creations.
Marc Cluizel
Granted in 2012, the EPV (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant, Living Heritage Company) label is a sign of recognition from the French government, set up to recognise French companies with artisanal expertise and excellence. The label unites those manufacturers who strive for the highest performance of their profession and their products.
The label EPV is a benchmark and a guarantee of quality. It is awarded to highly-reputable, unique firms (individual companies) that combine tradition and innovation, knowhow and creation, effort and passion, heritage and future, local and international trade. These «Living Heritage Companies» maintain their production in France and represent the «Made in France» spirit.
For four generations, the Cluizel family has evolved amidst fragrances of chocolate. With the help of skilled Cacaofèvier ® , confectioners, the family carries on with their tradition, where everything started: in Normandy. The Manufacture CLUIZEL developed a direct, sustainable relation with cocoa planters. This fair commitment is a pledge of quality. A genuine, natural taste, this is what the self demanding chocolaterie always strives for. To achieve this, cocoa beans are fermented according to a skilfully controlled technique, at the planter’s premises.
Then, everything is made at the Manufacture CLUIZEL: from the slow roasting process that perfectly reveals all the cocoa flavours, to the subtle decorations which are often handmade. This results in a range of tastes from unique soils, emphasized by traditional or innovative recipes: CLUIZEL’s chocolates.
The Manufacture CLUIZEL created a unique quality commitment, the only one of its kind in the whole world, which certifies the fine selection of raw materials and appears on every single product.
This "Noble Ingredients" commitment provides professionals with the guarantee that only pure cocoa butter, Bourbon vanilla pod and sugar are used in the recipes.
Moreover, CLUIZEL chocolates are guaranteed containing neither soy nor added flavours.
Not only does the Manufacture CLUIZEL carefully select the cocoa beans but also all the raw materials used for the making of its chocolate creations and fillings.
The Manufacture CLUIZEL is one of the few Cacaofèvier ® in the world to master the processing of cocoa beans into cocoa paste first, and then into dark, milk or white chocolate.
The Manufacture CLUIZEL designs its own filling recipes: praliné, almond paste, caramel, nougatine, liqueur, gianduja...
Sustainability has been one of the strategic priorities of the Manufacture CLUIZEL for many years now. Today, the company has 3 CSR objectives:
1. IMPROVING ITS ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE
2. DESIGNING ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS
3. CONTRIBUTING TO THE SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT (OF ITS EMPLOYEES, AND PLANTERS)
The Manufacture CLUIZEL understands the importance of location: its Damville premises in Normandy, built in 1972, provide employment for 180 people, many of them local inhabitants. As an active member of the local business community, the company advocates for gender equality in the workplace. Without needing to apply a quota system, the human resources boast exemplary parity.
On a regional level, it is the name of a family business run on a human scale for 4 generations, proud of its origins and loyal to its birthplace. Today, the Manufacture CLUIZEL is the largest company in its rural community, which it respects and helps to prosper.
The Manufacture CLUIZEL is engaged in the local economy in terms of employment as well as fiscal responsibility: since its creation, it has always been committed to transparency and paying all of its taxes in France.
This people-first ethic also governs relations with its partners, in Normandy and around the world: since 1999, cocoa bean planters who supply the company have also been its partners, which implies the respect of several commitments.
CLUIZEL built its own organic waste water management facility in 2012 (reed bed filtration): a first in French food industry. Its water flows into a pond created by the company and home to fish and amphibians.
Constantly looking for new ways to reduce its environmental footprint, the Manufacture CLUIZEL recycles and reuses its waste. The totality of its cocoa bean hulls, the only agricultural waste produced, are recycled: 80% in the form of natural agricultural fertilizer, 10% as herb teas and 10% as additives for animal feed.
Recycling has become a global issue. Without proper collection and recycling, plastics affect our environment and have a lasting impact on ecosystems.
CLUIZEL is committed to offering recyclable packaging that respects the environment. In this way, the Manufacture contributes to the successful implementation of a circular plastics economy.

After working in the most prestigious restaurants and pastry shops, Jordi Puigvert Colomer was finalist of ”The Best Restaurant Dessert” championship in 2007. He then taught pastry-confectionary and plated desserts in the Hotel School of Girona for several years in parallel with his consulting activity. He created his own company ”Sweet´n Go” more than ten years ago with the aim of sharing his avant-guard pastry and chocolate technics through trainings and consulting activities to high-end pastry shops, hotels, restaurants, chocolate makers and caterers all around the world.
”The word which most perfectly describes the Manufacture CLUIZEL is ”quality”. It uses noble ingredients and creates products which combine perfectly with my profile of pastry chef. It is why I have been collaborating with the Manufacture CLUIZEL now since several years. It gives me the possibility to fully express myself professionally. I am free to represent the brand with creations which are a reflection of myself and my way of working.
The family structure enables to be in direct relation with all the company departments, thus making me feel completely integrated to the Manufacture CLUIZEL team and implicated in the creation of products. Finally, I like to work with the Manufacture CLUIZEL products because they ”speak for themselves” in so much for their taste as for their quality. It is ideal when I give training sessions or make demonstrations, the seduction operates immediately.”
Since 1948, the Cluizel family has been sharing their story, a tale of chocolate and the exceptional selections they create. As one of the rare independent Cacaofèvier® in the world, the Manufacture CLUIZEL perfectly masters each step of the transformation of the cocoa beans into chocolate.

Chocolate earns the “Plantation chocolates” qualification only if it is made entirely from cocoa beans from one and the same plantation. It’s higher quality than a “single-origin chocolate”, whose beans come from only one country, and even superior to a “grand cru”, whose beans come from a single region.
For over 20 years, each of our Plantation chocolates has told a story, featuring the encounter of the Manufacture and the planters’ families with whom it works. The ties that unite them are made up of dialogue, respect and constant exchange. As a tribute to these families who make the CLUIZEL adventure possible around the world, these chocolates are named after the plantation their beans come from, showcasing the value of these partnerships.
Sharing a passion for exceptional products, the CLUIZEL workshops and plantation owners work together to develop premium chocolates as well as to raise and maintain the living conditions of their families while respecting their country’s cultural standards and customs. Today, the Manufacture maintains a direct, trusted relationship with each of these industry players through six exclusive partnerships.
Working with a Plantation chocolate requires dedication and determination. Three factors guarantee the quality and unique character of the chocolate: terroir, fermentation and roasting the beans. Working closely with planters, the Manufacture uses a mix of age-old agricultural methods, ancestral fermentation processes and new roasting techniques. Over twenty trials were carried out to determine the ideal “fermentation-roasting” combinations. This hard work paid off: the chocolates thus created can be qualified as perfect.
Permanent and transparent exchange between the Manufacture and its partner planters have enabled them to leverage ancestral savoir-faire. Together, they have developed exclusive fermentation processes, one for each cocoa bean. Always carried out at the plantation itself, fermentation is a key stage on the road to excellence. It is the stage that reveals the natural taste profile of the cocoa beans and the aromatic range of their terroir.
Here, again, the Manufacture raises the bar. To avoid altering the cocoa’s multiple aromatic notes or losing any nutritional value, different roasting processes have been developed for each terroir, slow, more homogenous and using low temperatures.
To facilitate traceability, the cocoa beans are sent from the plantations to the Manufacture’s Normandy workshops as soon as they have been dried. Each of the stages in Plantation chocolate making are controlled without fail.
The Plantation chocolates are the reflection of our Cacaofèvier® know-how. Each chocolate presents an exceptional aromatic profile, resulting from our durable collaboration founded on exchange and sharing with the planter.
All the chocolates of this range will convey a strong personality to your creations, for unique achievements at your own image. With a minimum of 70% cocoa content, they unleash their full power with less added sugar, allowing you to develop recipes with more pronounced flavours.

" The word which most perfectly describes the Manufacture CLUIZEL is”quality”. It uses noble ingredients and creates products which combine perfectly with my profile of pastry chef."
The Manufacture is pleased to announce the opening of its Instagram account: @cluizelpro
The aim of this Instagram account is to become a source of information and inspiration for all chefs. New products, chefs' tips and events will be featured on our account, so you can keep up to date with all the latest CLUIZEL news.
To take the use of Chocolates one step further, the Manufacture developed the Basics Guide, a recipe manual covering all the key techniques to master the classics.
The Manufacture is also offering additional support with the Praliné Guide. Developed with the help of Chef Jordi Puigvert Colomer, this manual will show you how to get the most out of CLUIZEL pralinés.
As for the Les Façonnables Guide, it proposes a number of recipes for chocolate bonbons, snacks, petit fours and plated desserts.
As a result of their aromatic richness, the Plantation cocoa pastes enable to increase the percentage of cocoa and in this way create new and harmonised gustatory alliances.
Used as an ingredient, the aromatic force of our cocoa paste will give a character and a real personality to your recipes.
