    • Welcome to Antton, Artisan Chocolatier in Espelette, a village renowned for its chili pepper.

      All gourmets and the curious are invited to visit the production workshop in Espelette for free, and share the passion for chocolate through the work of the Chocolatiers.

      A guide accompanies you on an educational, warm and gourmet journey !

      THE VISIT IS DIVIDED IN TWO PARTS:

      • In the first room, the guide tells the history of chocolate and the main stages of production, from harvesting the cocoa bean to chocolate.
      • Then, you enter the manufacturing workshop to discover the chocolatiers in the exercise of their art and you can easily exchange with them. The laboratory, with its decor with trompe l'oeil paintings, transports you into the warm atmosphere of a traditional Basque kitchen "La Cuisine d'Amatxi" (meaning grandmother's kitchen) .


      The end of the visit continues with a tasting of our best specialties, fine chocolates and spreads !

    It is a pity that I did not take a photo. The place is wonderful, a must seen if you pass in Espelette, they offer a small visit in their chocolate workshop (part of it for sure), and dégustation. Two specialities of this place: The chockate with piment (yes, it is spicy) is a wonderful accompaniment with coffee. The othe one is the orangette, the fine layer of dark chocolate cove the orangette, Don't miss this place 😋
