- Laia Chocolate Factory: an artisanal treasure in the heart of the Basque Country
  In the heart of the Basque Country, a land of traditions and gastronomic treasures, Chocolaterie Laia stands out as one of the last artisanal chocolate makers to perpetuate the ancestral know-how of transforming cocoa beans into chocolate. This "Bean-to-Bar" approach guarantees exceptional quality and authentic flavors, for truly exceptional chocolate.
  
  Exceptional craftsmanship
  Laia's exceptional chocolate is the result of a series of meticulously controlled manufacturing steps, from the selection of cocoa beans to their transformation into delicious chocolate bars. Each step, from roasting to conching, is carried out with passion and expertise to reveal the full complexity and richness of the cocoa's aromas.

Excellent artisanal chocolate shop! Laia chocolates are simply delicious, with authentic flavors and great craftsmanship. Special mention for the warm welcome and professionalism of the chocolatier, who was extremely accommodating in rescuing a delivery just before Christmas. A huge thank you! An address to recommend without hesitation 🍫🎄

Chocolate in all its forms, made from scratch using cocoa beans roasted by them. Absolutely excellent. It's an institution.
