This guide helps you find Lebanese chocolate worth buying, whether for a wedding, a gift box or a bar to keep for yourself.<\/strong> Chocolate has a big place in Lebanese celebrations, from boxes brought to a host’s home to arrangements made for weddings and new babies. The makers below range from a Gemmayzeh family shop to manufacturers that export to more than 20 countries.<\/p>\n

How we chose<\/h2>\n

Every chocolatier here is listed in the Made in Liban directory and makes its chocolate in Lebanon. We aimed for a mix of family workshops, larger producers and makers outside Beirut, and we kept each description to what the brands and published sources say. We have not held a tasting, so treat the list as a map rather than a ranking.<\/p>\n

Family chocolate houses<\/h2>\n

Atti\u00e9 Fr\u00e8res<\/a><\/h3>\n

Georges Atti\u00e9 started this Gemmayzeh chocolaterie, and three generations of the family have since made chocolate there. Pierre Atti\u00e9 now runs the craft and is teaching it to his son Joseph, so techniques pass hand to hand. Expect chocolates made on site, nougat and boxed selections for gifts and family occasions, and a small specialist shop that suits a walk around the neighbourhood.
