Chocolate products
Chocolate is used in several products such as chocolate spread, confectionery, cocoa powder, pralines, sprinkles, tablets and bars. Each product has a specific composition and method of preparation.

Daskaslidès makes chocolate spreads with flavours like Noir and Lait noisette. The range of tablets and bars of Daskalidès, is very wide. The flavours are surprisingly original such as Noir thé, Manon blanc, Mocca and Lait Ganache with puffed rice. Specific types of cocoa from Ghana, Java or Santo Domingo are used for the original tablets.

The praline with a filling is known since 1912. Daskalidès meticulously chooses the best cocoa and the finest ingredients for the preparation of the filling. This determines flavour, colour and perfume. The quality of the chocolate depends on the cocoa beans and the proportion of the ingredients.
