Espérantines: signature chocolates made with olive oil

An icon of the L’Espérantine de Marseille house, the Espérantine is far more than just a chocolate – it is a handcrafted creation with an inimitable taste, inviting you on a sensory journey to the heart of Provence.

Born in Marseille in 1999 to celebrate the city’s 2,600th anniversary, the Espérantine has won over the most discerning palates with its bold blend of emblematic Mediterranean ingredients.

Its unique recipe harmoniously combines finely ground sweet almonds, candied orange peel, intense 70% dark chocolate and a delicate touch of extra-virgin olive oil. A rare, resolutely modern alliance where each ingredient plays its note in a perfectly balanced symphony.

Awarded “Best Confectionery” at the Intersuc Paris trade show in 2000, the Espérantine embodies French artisanal excellence. Crafted under the highest standards of quality and hygiene, it is the fruit of a meticulous and passionate process where nothing is left to chance.

Available in ballotins, branches or gift boxes, this olive-leaf-shaped chocolate symbolises peace, conviviality and the art of sharing. To offer an Espérantine is to offer a piece of Provence – a gesture full of taste, refinement and emotion.
