PIERRE MARCOLINI Dubai Mall of the Emirates

No preservatives or GMOs are present in our creations, in line with our ethical and responsible approach.

We offer a dark chocolate bar, made with maltitol (a sweetener derived from cereals, gluten-free).

Pierre Marcolini's chocolates reflect an artisanal and responsible commitment at every stage of their production: We work directly with dedicated plantations, selected for the quality of their beans as well as their social and environmental practices. This choice ensures fair compensation for producers and supports sustainable farming. We craft our own chocolate from cacao beans in our Brussels workshop. This artisanal expertise demands time, great precision and specialised equipment. Each creation is made with high-quality, traceable raw ingredients. We favour the noblest bean varieties, origins and aromatic profiles, and this level of excellence is reflected in the final result. We share the origin, variety and tasting notes of our products to guarantee complete transparency and a unique taste experience. By choosing our chocolates, you are supporting a sustainable supply chain, artisanal expertise and a demanding approach to taste, for a chocolate that is truly unique, meaningful and full of character. 

We recommend keeping our chocolates in a cool, odour-free place at a temperature between 14 and 18°C.They can also be stored in the bottom of the fridge, leaving them carefully in their original packaging.

The use-by date of all our products is indicated on the product sheets. We use fresh ingredients and do not add any preservatives.The best before date of our chocolate products varies between 1 and 9 months.Our macarons can be stored for 5 days after purchase.

Known as "fat whitening", this occurs when lipids crystallise on the surface of the chocolate and leave a whitish film. This causes the chocolate to whiten very slightly, losing some of its shine. Although this may make the chocolate look unattractive, the taste does not change at all and is not to be confused with mould formation. To avoid this, it is recommended to store your chocolates at ambient temperature.

Some of our creations are certified gluten-free. You can find them by adding the filter "Gluten free" in our online shop.

Our products may contain traces of nuts, milk, soya and gluten. For each product, we detail the allergens present on our online product sheets.

Cadmium is a naturally occurring element in the environment. It is also found in many everyday foods such as bread, potatoes or rice. Since 2019, Europe has set very strict standards to protect consumers, and all our creations remain well below these limits. You can enjoy our chocolates with complete confidence.

Cadmium is not added: it comes naturally from the soils where cocoa trees grow, especially in volcanic or formerly industrialized areas. It is therefore linked to the soil, not to the manufacturing process. At Pierre Marcolini, we choose beans from low-exposure terroirs and have each batch tested to ensure safety.

No. The risk of cadmium depends on the quantity consumed and body weight. Chocolate is only a small source compared to other everyday foods. With moderate consumption, chocolate remains above all a pleasure, without health risk.

The main risk comes from the soil, not from processing. But our bean-to-bar approach allows us total traceability: we select the beans, have them tested in accredited laboratories and ensure quality control from start to finish. This complete mastery guarantees safe and exceptional chocolate.
