About our handmade chocolate
2.1 Where do you produce your handmade chocolate?
All our handmade chocolates are produced by our chocolatiers inside our Brussels store located at Rue Lebeau 11, 1000 Brussels. We don't use any industrial methods to produce our chocolate and it is guaranteed 100% passion, 100% local, 100% premium Belgian chocolate.
2.2 Who is the chocolate maker?
Our chocolate maker (chocolatier) is Elisabetta Passafaro (22 years old). A young chocolate expert who is really passionate by handmade chocolate.
Elisabetta studied at Accademia Maestri Cioccolatieri Italiani in Italy and obtained her certification in 2019. She finished her internship with a travel to Brazil to develop her knowledge about the bean to bar process. All our handmade chocolate is produced exclusively by Elisabetta and sold under the brand Chocomeli.
You can easily understand why this name came out of our imagination! :)
2.3 Is a chocolate edible after the Best By Date (BBD)?
Absolutely. Pure chocolate doesn't go bad and can be enjoyed months after its Best By Date. Please note that this is not the case with pralines and truffles for which it is more important to follow the Best By Date.
2.4 Do you have any vegan products?
Our dark chocolates are vegan based on their ingredients, but we are not able to obtain vegan vertifications due to milk traceability from operating in the same factory as milk and white chocolate production.
We also use the NXT dairy-free chocolate from Barry Callebaut to produce some of our chocolates.
2.5 Which type of chocolate do you use?
To produce our handmade chocolates, we only use high quality cocoa beans from all around the world. From Costa Rica to India, we choose the rarest beans to develop all the flavors in an original chocolate with an unique taste. Making chocolate is an art. At the origin of the taste, there is the bean, and all the work that lets explode all its flavors. From roasting to conching, here is the birth of aromas. Our handmade Chocomeli brand is really 100% made in Belgium!
No trick, no cheating! Our chocolate is guaranteed 100% made in Belgium.
We use the RB1 from Barry Callebaut for the ruby chocolate production.
We also use the NXT from Barry Callebaut for all our dairy-free chocolates.
2.6 Do you guarantee a minimum shelf life?
We are committed to shipping products with at least a 1 month shelf life for optimum quality, taste and nutrition.
2.7 How long does chocolate last?
Contrary to what you may hear, dark chocolate lasts around five years. That’s in part due to the high amount of antioxidants, as well as the sugar, which is a preservative.
Milk chocolate and white chocolate contain milk solids and should be used within a year.
2.8 What is the best chocolate?
That is a tough question. Like anything edible, many things come into play. Do you like bitter chocolate? Or one that is sweeter? Do you prefer a roasted flavor? Or one that is softer, and creamier?
We tell people that the best chocolate is the one that tastes best to them. So we encourage our clients to taste as many chocolates as they can, and choose one they like best.
2.9 Are your handmade chocolates GMO free?
Yes, all of our handmade chocolates are GMO free.
2.10 Do you carry chocolate for people with tree-nut allergies?
In most products, we do not use nuts as ingredients, but the chocolate may contain traces of peanuts and other nuts, gluten, and egg proteins. We recommend that people with these allergies do not consume our chocolate.
2.11 Are your handmade chocolates Fair Trade?
To produce our handmade chocolates, we only use high quality cocoa beans from all around the world. From Costa Rica to India, we choose the rarest beans to develop all the flavors in an original chocolate with an unique taste. Making chocolate is an art. At the origin of the taste, there is the bean, and all the work that lets explode all its flavors. From roasting to conching, here is the birth of aromas.
We pursue a policy of direct trade with farmers in accordance with the principles of Fair Trade. We do everything in our power to ensure that the conditions in which our cacao is grown allow planters and their families to develop a long-term business strategy. We take particular care to ensure no children work in the production of our cacao, that there is no forced labor and that all national and international labor regulations are respected.
2.12 Are your products gluten-free?
All of our macarons, figurines and chocolates bars are gluten-free (this means that they contain less than 20 ppm of gluten and are suitable for intolerant people).
Our chocolate pralines and truffles are not gluten-free.
We recommend people for whom gluten is a serious health concern not to consume our chocolates as it may contain traces of gluten.
