Grand cru chocolate is the finest of all chocolate. The deliberate use of nothing but single-origin cacao beans gives it an intense and sophisticated flavour.
As a pioneer in grand cru chocolate in Switzerland, Haut Chocolatier Sprüngli is launching a world first: Grand Cru Absolu – an intense chocolate experience created using the entire cacao fruit. Grand Cru Absolu is made from just two ingredients, a true sign of its naturalness and quality. Sprüngli uses Bolivian single-origin cacao beans and juice from the cacao fruit to handcraft small batches of dark chocolate truffles and outstanding Luxemburgerli. It’s a chocolate experience unlike any other, and a truly unique taste for connoisseurs and chocolate lovers alike.

To Sprüngli, responsibility means using natural ingredients from sustainable sources, and processing these with care to guarantee exquisite quality. Using the entire cacao fruit ensures a careful and sustainable approach to the environment and allows the cacao farmers to create added value.

Grand Cru – absolute enjoyment
To make Grand Cru Absolu, small-scale farmers carefully hand-pick wild, rare cacao fruits and their cacao beans – which boast a fine, fruity-citrus and intense chocolate flavour – at exactly the right time, and in small quantities. Only the naturally sweet, fresh and aromatic juice that comes from the white pulp of the cacao fruit is added to Grand Cru Absolu. Swiss grand cru chocolate pioneer Sprüngli has united these two components in its brand new creation, using the entire cacao fruit to create a pure, raw chocolate experience with a unique character – fruity and intensely dark.
