Fleur D’Orange Pistoles

Celia Sin-Tien Cheng

Debauve & Gallais’ signature chocolate is the Fleur d’Orange Pistole. Pistoles, I learned, were created for Queen Marie-Antoinette who wanted a light chocolate snack she could enjoy throughout the day. These thin coins are indeed the perfect chocolate treat to indulge in any time of day. The Fleur d’Orange Pistoles are so delightful, with a suggestive hint of orange blossom. The key here is subtlety. It’s as if the chocolate were flirting with you, teasing you with a trace of orange blossom that is ever so faint, but unforgettable. One bite and I was hooked. At $72/lb, they are also the best value at the boutique.
