A day out at the Maison Cailler in Broc/Gruyère, an unforgettable experience
Imagine a place where all your senses can be immersed in the wonderful world of Cailler chocolate. Your eyes discover mysterious old Aztec cocoa ceremonies. Your ears hear fascinating tales of François-Louis Cailler, who brought the first chocolate recipe to Switzerland in 1819. Your hands hold roasted cocoa beans and your nose will want to follow the wafting smell of fresh chocolate. And what would Cailler chocolate be if it didn't find its way to your mouth, where it caresses your taste buds with the fabulous flavours of the best cocoa, milk from the region, and other delicious ingredients?
Experience all this and much more in the newly opened Maison Cailler in Broc-Gruyère. Your visit will also take you to the Atelier de Chocolat studio, where you can learn inspired recipes for the finest chocolate creations. And no visit would be complete without some light refreshment in the new "La Chocolaitière" café, and some delectable treats from the Cailler Shop. We look forward to seeing you!
