Laia Chocolate Factory: an artisanal treasure in the heart of the Basque Country

In the heart of the Basque Country, a land of traditions and gastronomic treasures, Chocolaterie Laia stands out as one of the last artisanal chocolate makers to perpetuate the ancestral know-how of transforming cocoa beans into chocolate. This "Bean-to-Bar" approach guarantees exceptional quality and authentic flavors, for an exceptional chocolate.

Exceptional craftsmanship

Laia's exceptional chocolate is the result of a series of meticulously controlled manufacturing steps, from the selection of cocoa beans to their transformation into delicious chocolate bars. Each step, from roasting to conching, is carried out with passion and expertise to reveal all the complexity and richness of cocoa aromas.
