Description

A mix of white pink and brown eggs, these eggs of the Three French hens are specially laid for us in France, where else?!

Our Three French Hens Egg box contains 4 brown eggs filled with salted caramel ganache, 4 pink eggs filled with a crispy hazelnut praline, and 4 white eggs filled with praline.

These bird eggs are part of the Chocolate Detective Curated Collection. These eggs are the same as those in the cuckoo which were selected as a Best Buy and given 5 stars in Jeremy Lee’s (Quo Vadis) taste test for the Observer last Easter.

The archetypal French hen is actually a Faverolle, originally a cross between the Cochin and Houdan breeds…they are easily recognised by their fluffy feather mufflers and the overall impression is one of excessive plumage and vanity – even their legs are feathered, and beneath the furry trousers each foot has 5 toes!

About The Chocolate Detective

Lewes, United Kingdom
Chantal Coady OBE is the Chocolate Detective. A sustainable chocolate expert, founder of Rococo Chocolates and lifelong chocolate activist.

As part of our CURATE collection, we have sourced our chocolate eggs from a company that I have worked with for over 40 years. I trust their sourcing of cocoa and I can share that they moved away from West African cocoa because they were not happy with the practices there, and not able to control them. They bought a large cocoa farm in Ecuador (San Fernando, see link and more information below) and have been working directly with the farmers.

Since the Chocolate Detective started it has been an imperative to avoid the use of plastic unless completely unavoidable.

We use recycled or recyclable materials wherever possible.

Our new egg cartons are made from bagasse, a by product of sugar cane. The result is an elegant, smooth white food that is safe board, so we no longer need to line the boxes with tissue, they are also home compostable.

Made in Lancashire, powered by water.
