Jade Genin : Chocolates or jewelry?

Yet a court lawyer, jade joined her father in 2019 to take charge of the communication and the Chocolate part of the family business. With a well-trained palate since childhood, she took a liking to the business and soon made her first creations. "When I work with chocolate, I no longer have any notion of time passing. I forget everything, fears or regrets, appearance or futility... I abandon myself to it" she says.
The laboratory is visible from the store and open on the rue des Petits champs. Feel free to admire the work from the street.
Jade is touched and inspired by the flavors of Asia; Japan, Korea, Thailand. From Jasmine to Tamarind, from Black Sesame to Ginger, Jade makes exotic aromas and colors vibrate for our greatest pleasure.


Jacques and jade Genin


There is no cream, milk, butter, white sugar, additives, preservatives or flavor enhancers in Jade Genin chocolate.

Jade Genin chocolate is made of strictly natural products: wild chamomile flowers, dried jasmine petals, Piedmont hazelnuts, Marcona almonds, Rapadura, extra virgin olive oil...

It is the emblematic figure of Jade Genin chocolates. As a young girl, Jade's father presented her with a replica of the Louvre pyramid made of chocolate. "I was amazed. It was the most beautiful chocolate in the world.
The pyramidions are presented in a beautiful metal case with a logo. One is struck by the subtlety of the colors.





We tested 7 flavors. The aromatic palette is wide, the flavors respect the chocolate and are all in delicacy. It is very subtle, relatively unsweetened and probably the best chocolate we have tasted.
Here are some impressions:

The portion is reduced. It is a chocolate designed for tasting. Gourmands may feel frustrated by the quantity, but isn't profusion the enemy of quality?
 

These small crocodiles are pieces to crunch where the praline is of a fine grade. They will seduce and educate the palate of children but also adults.

In the spirit of orangette, this is a candied ginger that retains a slightly fibrous and peppery character on the finish. Also quite addictive.

This testing provided us with great emotions by the personality, the subtlety and the exoticism of the flavors, in a great respect of the natural aromas of prestigious cocoa. It is an expensive chocolate, but it is very different from the products of the most praiseworthy chocolatiers we know.
Do not deprive yourself, before leaving, of a hot chocolate with almond milk. It's powerful and enchanting and has no equal to the best hot chocolates we've been served.
