Neuhaus x Mallory Gabsi: Celebrate Valentine’s Day with a Fusion of Contrasts

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and Neuhaus, the inventor of the Belgian praline, is once again raising the bar in chocolate craftsmanship. This year, the renowned chocolatier partners with Belgian chef Mallory Gabsi, a culinary star who rose to fame as a finalist on season 11 of Top Chef in France.

Gabsi, celebrated for his inventive approach to flavor and texture, shares a deep connection with Neuhaus:

“At home, Neuhaus was always part of special occasions. To me, it represents quality and excellence.”

This exceptional collaboration has resulted in a limited-edition chocolate collection inspired by the concept that opposites attract. Each heart-shaped praline features two contrasting halves with distinct flavours and textures that come together in perfect harmony. Presented in an elegant box designed to resemble a love letter, this collection is the sweetest way to share your love.

Unique Pairings that Celebrate Connection

Like two individuals uniting to create something extraordinary, Neuhaus and Mallory Gabsi bring this concept to life through innovative chocolate creations. “Contrasts are what create balance, whether in recipes or relationships,” explains Gabsi.

Each praline in the collection tells its own story of complementary contrasts:

Milk Chocolate Heart: A vibrant pairing of tart passion fruit ganache and a sweet salted caramel ganache with a touch of cinnamon.
Red-Colored White Chocolate Heart: A silky hazelnut ganache united with a crunchy gianduja featuring coconut flakes.
Dark Chocolate Heart: A rich and fruity dark chocolate banana ganache complemented by a nutty pecan and ground banana praline.

These refined creations embody the idea that opposites not only attract but elevate one another.

A Love Letter in Chocolate

This Valentine’s Day, skip the traditional prose and let Neuhaus do the talking with this love letter-inspired chocolate box. “Each praline in this collection is like a small recipe, a perfect interplay of bold flavours and textures,” Gabsi shares.

In addition to the Love Letter box, Neuhaus’ Valentine’s Day collection includes five heart-shaped boxes and two beautifully decorated ballotins, all filled with a handpicked selection of iconic Neuhaus pralines. Whether you’re gifting a long-time partner or sharing with a new love, these chocolates are the ultimate expression of affection.

As Gabsi reflects:

“With a box of chocolates, there are always pieces you savour first and those you save for last. Love is no different - you save the best for last.”

Make Valentine’s Day Deliciously Memorable

This limited-edition collection is available now in Neuhaus boutiques and online.

Celebrate your love story with a gift that embodies the beauty of contrasts and the harmony of togetherness - a perfect reflection of your relationship.
