At Prestat, we believe that chocolate is more than just a treat – it is an experience that engages all the senses.
The fusion of art and flavour is at the heart of what we do, transforming our chocolates into edible masterpieces.
From the meticulous development of new flavours to the intricate decoration of each piece, and the beautifully designed packaging, every element of our chocolates is crafted to delight and inspire.
The Art of Flavour Development
Creating a new chocolate flavor is akin to composing a symphony. It begins with the selection of high-quality ingredients, each bringing its unique note to the mix.
Our master chocolatiers are artists in their own right, blending traditional techniques with innovative ideas to craft flavours that are both timeless and contemporary.
The process starts in our kitchen, where we experiment with various combinations of ingredients.
We draw inspiration from a multitude of sources – from the rich history of chocolate to global culinary trends. Each ingredient is carefully selected not only for its taste but also for how it complements and enhances the flavours around it.
At Prestat, we are particularly inspired by the chocolate and ingredients we have at our disposal. Through our sister companies, Polo del Gusto and Agrimontana, we have access to the finest fruits and nuts from Italy.
These exceptional ingredients provide a rich palette of flavours for our chocolatiers to work with, allowing us to create chocolates that are both unique and exquisite.
Imagine the sweet, juicy burst of Italian oranges, the rich, buttery texture of Piedmont hazelnuts, or the nutty and earthy pistachios. These are just a few examples of the premium ingredients we use to craft our chocolates.
Each ingredient is carefully chosen not only for its superior quality but also for its ability to enhance and elevate the flavour profile of our chocolates
Our goal is to create a harmonious balance that excites the palate and leaves a lasting impression.
Once a new flavour is conceived, it undergoes rigorous testing. We fine-tune the proportions, tweak the nuances, and refine the texture until it achieves perfection.
This iterative process ensures that every bite of Prestat chocolate is a symphony of flavours, orchestrated to delight.
The Art of Decoration
The visual appeal of our chocolates is just as important as their taste. We believe that the first bite is taken with the eyes, which is why each piece is a work of art. Our chocolatiers use a variety of techniques to decorate our chocolates, from hand-painting with edible colors to creating intricate patterns with tempered chocolate.
Every decoration is thoughtfully designed to complement the flavour within. For example, a rich, dark truffle might be adorned with a sprinkle of cocoa nibs to enhance its indulgent taste, while a fruity ganache could be decorated with a vibrant splash of coloured sugar to reflect its bold and lively character.
The craftsmanship involved in decorating our chocolates is a testament to our dedication to quality and detail. Each piece is handled with care, ensuring that it not only tastes exquisite but also looks stunning.
This attention to detail elevates our chocolates from mere confections to miniature works of art.
The Art of Packaging
At Prestat, we understand that the packaging of our chocolates is the first point of contact with our customers. It sets the stage for the experience that follows and reflects the quality and elegance of the chocolates within. Our packaging is designed to be as delightful and luxurious as the chocolates themselves.
We have collaborated with talented designers to create packaging that is both beautiful and functional.
Each box is a visual feast, often featuring intricate illustrations, rich colours, and elegant typography.
The designs are inspired by a variety of themes, from classic art movements to contemporary trends, ensuring that our packaging is always fresh and exciting.
The materials we use are carefully selected for their quality and sustainability. We strive to make our packaging as eco-friendly as possible, using recyclable materials and minimising waste.
This commitment to sustainability reflects our broader dedication to responsible practices in all aspects of our business.
