A word from Laure, founder of Carrés Sauvages

I wanted to do myself some good by biting into a square of chocolate. To know that each ingredient brought me its energy. Also know that the cocoa had been chosen using a sustainable and ethical approach. To know its history. To consume raw chocolate, without refined sugar, virtuous, as you rarely find in France.

After being fermented and dried, the beans are not roasted but simply crushed and ground at low temperature (below 42°C) to retain their precious nutrients and their original taste.

Coconut sugar, organic and fair trade, sweetens our chocolate by adding light notes of caramel. Sometimes it's yet another healthy alternative to refined white sugar that we introduce you to, always a complete sugar with a low glycemic index with taste and nutritional value.

Everything is entirely and artisanally made in France.

Our beans come from small communities in the Peruvian Amazon, the cradle of cocoa.


This is an organic, fair trade and native cocoa called Criollo. A bean with sweet, powerful and fruity aromas.

Origin — Satipo, Peru

Organization — Association of small agricultural farms

Labels — Organic (Ecocert), fair trade (Control Union Fair Choice)

Variety — Criollo (1% world production)

Antioxidant — Its natural richness in polyphenols helps fight aging and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. While the flavonoids present in raw cocoa prevent the decline of cognitive functions, improve the level of attention and help with memorization.

Relaxing — Our raw cocoa is full of magnesium, a nutrient that fights general and muscle fatigue.

Energizing — Our raw cocoa contains between 14 and 15% protein, and theobromine, a powerful stimulant.

Once roasted, cocoa loses about half of its virtues.
