Inspired by an idea from a customer, Parisian chocolatier Jean-Charles Rochoux set out to create a bar that would marry fresh-fruit and chocolate, without the moisture in the fruit destroying the chocolate. Rochoux places seasonal fruits (Gariguette strawberries in the spring) atop one of his chocolate bars and drenches the fruit in chocolate. The results are astounding, ephemeral (they’ll keep for two days at the most) and hard to get – they’re made and sold out every Saturday.
