Le Careme
The Le Careme name is derived from Marie-Antoine Careme, an early 19th-centurry chef who was a practitioner of grande cuisine.
Careme is often credited as one of the first "celebrity chefs", and is also credited with popularizing the chocolate soufflé.
Industry icon Ernesto Perez-Carrillo commented upon the rich flavor profile saying, "It tastes like a chocolate soufflé;" hence, the brand name.
Le Careme's flavor profile is a rich, complex journey of notes ranging from dark chocolate to espresso beans to black cherries and honey.
The body is dense and voluminous, with a palate-coating, luxurious silky texture.
