At a time when inflation is accelerating, can we still afford chocolate without breaking the bank? France Télévisions conducted the investigation.
Dark or praline, with chocolate, there is something for everyone. In the temple of cocoa lovers, at the Salon du chocolat held in Paris from October 28 to November 1, France Télévisions went to meet gourmets, with a question: is it still possible to find good chocolate at a reasonable price ?
Among the great Parisian chocolatiers, excellence goes up to 180 euros per kilo. To offer chocolates at more affordable prices, chocolatier Gilles Cresno has a secret: making as many of them as possible himself. He thus prefers to produce his praline rather than buying ready-made ones. The square of chocolate is a comfort for many French people who eat more than 7.5 kilos per year and per person. The figure remained stable, thanks in particular to the success of the chocolate bars. For a chocolate bar, count between 5 and 10 euros. The price of a more affordable little pleasure.
