Pierre Marcolini, Chocolatier

Top Belgian chocolatier Pierre Marcolini produces seasonal and holiday collections that include filled chocolates, pralines, truffles, single-origin chocolates and macarons. While Belgian chocolates are usually heavier in couverture and creamier in filling than the French variety, Marcolini’s are all Gallic refinement. His thin couverture has a satisfying crunch, yielding unctuous ganaches such as a refreshing thyme-orange combination; other fillings include caramel/passionfruit and almond/citrus praliné. website
