So many layers
Each truffle was like its own little story. I got fruity notes, spices, creamy centers. It?s clear that a lot of care goes into crafting them.

Coffee pairing heaven
These chocolates go perfectly with my morning coffee. I tried their milk bar and it balanced sweet and rich cocoa so well. The packaging even mentions natural ingredients ? gives me confidence.

Lovely dark bar
The single?estate dark bar had strong cocoa flavor with light fruity notes. I felt it could be slightly richer, but still quality. Love the brand?s bean?to?bar ethos. Hoping they open a store near me someday.

Chocolates have that satisfying snap when you bite. Flavor was impressive with slight fruity note. Texture smooth. Only minor gripe: shipping fee felt steep. Taste makes up for it though.

Okay for the price
Honestly, the chocolate isn?t bad, but I felt like it didn?t fully live up to the hype. The bar I got had a nice snap and smooth texture, but the flavor wasn?t super memorable. It?s a bit pricey for what you get. I expected something a little more unique. I don?t regret trying it, but I don?t think I?d go out of my way to order again unless it?s a gift or something.

Good flavor, slow delivery
The chocolates tasted nice and looked elegant but shipping took longer than I thought it would. For what I paid, I expected faster delivery and maybe better tracking updates. The flavor of the truffles was good, especially the caramel one, but not really mind-blowing. It?s clear they use quality ingredients, but I wasn?t completely wowed. I?d order again, but only if they improve the shipping side of things a bit.

Looks good, tastes bad
The design and presentation looked really high-end so I had high hopes, but the flavor just wasn?t there. The chocolate was dry and crumbly, and some fillings were barely noticeable. Not creamy or rich like I expected. I thought maybe I got a bad box, but reading other reviews it seems common. Pretty packaging doesn?t make up for poor quality chocolate. Honestly feel like I wasted my money. Never ordering again.

Very disappointing experience
I was really looking forward to trying these chocolates, but it was such a let down. The flavors were bland and the texture wasn?t smooth at all. Some pieces felt like they had been sitting around too long. For the price I paid, I expected way better quality. The packaging looked fancy but that?s really the only nice part. I contacted customer service and never got a reply back. Definitely won?t order again.

Not as rich as I hoped
I was excited to try Cluizel after hearing good things, but the dark chocolate bar I ordered wasn?t as bold or rich as expected. It was smooth, sure, but kind of mild for my taste. Packaging looked great though and it did arrive in good shape. I don?t think it was bad quality, just not quite my style. Maybe I?ll try a different flavor next time before making a final judgement.

Not what I expected
Ordered after reading about their ?noble ingredients? and ethical sourcing. While I respect that, the chocolate itself wasn?t enjoyable. It had a strange, dry texture and didn?t melt the way good chocolate should. The flavor felt muted, almost dull. I thought maybe I got an old product, but it had a valid date. I appreciate the brand?s mission, but the product has to taste good too. Won?t be ordering again.

Not totally consistent
I?ve ordered from them twice. First time was great?the chocolates were smooth, flavorful, and fresh. But second order wasn?t as good. A couple pieces tasted a little stale, and one even had a crack. I do like their ethical sourcing and presentation, but consistency matters to me. I?m not saying it?s bad, but for premium pricing, I just expected better quality control. Not sure if I?ll try a third time.

Nice idea, execution lacking
Loved the idea behind single-origin chocolate and artisan feel, but honestly, the taste didn?t really stand out. It was fine, just not something I?d crave again. The design and story behind it is cool, but at the end of the day, flavor matters most. For me, it felt a bit flat. Maybe I chose the wrong bar? I?m on the fence about trying other products from them. Could go either way.

Fancy look, average taste
The chocolate box looked beautiful, very gift-worthy, but taste-wise it didn?t impress. There was one hazelnut piece that I liked, but most flavors blended into each other and nothing stood out. Texture was ok, not creamy like I hoped. The outer packaging gave me high hopes but once I started tasting, I was let down. I feel like I paid more for the brand name than actual quality. Probably not going to buy again.

Not worth the hype or cost
I got a gift box for my anniversary and honestly, I wish I went with another brand. Chocolates were overly sweet and lacked flavor. Some had weird aftertaste and the fillings weren?t balanced.

Mixed experience
The chocolates were well packaged and didn?t melt, which was a plus. But taste-wise, I wasn?t blown away. Some pieces were nice and smooth, while others tasted kind of basic. For artisan chocolate, I expected more bold or layered flavors. Also, shipping cost was a little much in my opinion. It?s not bad, but just not something I?d rush to reorder. Worth trying once, but there?s better out there for the same price.

Looks better than it tastes
The packaging looked premium and I had high hopes, but the chocolate itself didn?t deliver for me. The truffles were overly sweet and a few even had a strange aftertaste. For something this expensive, I expected much more flavor depth. Delivery was on time, but the product just didn?t feel worth the price. I wouldn?t call it awful, but definitely not something I?d buy again unless major changes are made to the recipe.

The chocolates are rich but not overpowering. Loved how they weren?t too sugary. You can actually taste the cocoa, not just sweet stuff. Arrived fresh with nice presentation.

Dessert upgrade
I chopped up the 72% dark bar and added it to banana bread. It gave it a whole new level of flavor. Real chocolate makes such a difference.

Artisanal and fresh
The chocolate felt fresh, not like it had been sitting in a warehouse. Real ingredients, real flavor. I?ll be back for the holidays.

Truffles were creamy
Tasted a truffle set and they were creamy and smooth. Loved the caramel?salt one. Some seemed overly sweet, but still enjoyable. Packaging lovely and informative. Overall good experience, i?d just want sugar?reduced options.

Enjoyable chocolate tasting
Tasting set let me explore origins like Madagascar and Brazil. Each had unique character, i enjoyed the fruity notes. Packaging informative. If only they offered smaller sample pieces cause full squares are a bit big for me. Still a fun experience.

Pretty box, average taste
I bought a box as a treat to myself. It looked beautiful, but I found the flavors kind of average. One of the truffles was overly sweet and another had a texture I didn?t love. Nothing was awful, but nothing wowed me either. Customer service was friendly when I asked about allergens, which I appreciated. Just wish the product inside matched how nice the box looked. Maybe I?ll try something else next time.

Chocolate that teaches
Learned a lot from reading about the cocoa origins on the package. It?s chocolate that teaches you about its journey. Pretty cool concept!

Consistent excellence
Have ordered from Cluizel twice now. Both times consistent excellence in taste and packaging. Only downside is shipping cost, but quality makes up.

Unique flavor notes
Tried their Venezuela origin bar and it had this natural raisin-like sweetness. So different from store-bought bars. You can really tell it?s from real beans.

Just not worth the price
I paid a lot for a small box of chocolates that, in my opinion, didn?t taste any better than cheaper brands. The presentation was lovely, but the chocolate just wasn?t satisfying. Some truffles were overly soft, others had barely any filling. Nothing tasted bad, but nothing stood out either. For a luxury brand, it felt pretty basic. I wouldn?t buy this again unless they drop the price or improve the recipes.

Poor shipping and stale taste
Ordered a variety box and it arrived warm with melted chocolate stuck to the wrapping. I expected better packaging during warm weather. After refrigerating, the texture felt off and some chocolates tasted stale. Not sure if it was an old batch or shipping issue, but it definitely wasn?t fresh. I reached out to them but got no response at all. Very frustrating. For what it costs, they should take more care with their orders.

Good but not perfect
Tasted a nice range of their bars and found them mostly smooth with subtle flavor notes. Some pieces felt slightly too sweet for my dark?choc preference. Still, definitely better than most supermarket brands. Glad I gave them a shot.

Super smooth finish
Dark chocolate had a super clean, smooth finish. No bitterness. Just a silky texture and deep flavor. Perfect with red wine too.

Let down by the flavor
I was drawn in by the nice branding and high-end feel of Cluizel. I expected something rich and refined, but what I got was overly sweet and kind of bland. The dark chocolate didn?t have that deep, bold flavor I love. Some pieces tasted a bit artificial, which surprised me given their clean ingredient claim. I really wanted to love it, but I ended up wishing I?d spent the money elsewhere.

Uneven quality
Some chocolates were decent, but others in the same box tasted stale or had weird textures. It felt like they weren?t stored right or something. I really wanted to like it because the brand sounds nice and the packaging was classy. But I?m disappointed. I expected a lot better quality from a company that talks about being bean-to-bar and artisanal. Maybe I got a bad batch, but not sure I?ll risk it again.

Authentic flavors
The orange and dark chocolate combo was amazing. Not artificial at all. Real orange peel and proper dark flavor. Love how they don?t compromise on ingredients.

Lovely surprise
I ordered a small Chocolate Box and it was such a lovely surprise. The chocolates were smooth, not too sweet, and felt really premium. Packaging arrived in good shape even though I live in a hot area. Will deffo buy again for birthdays.

Good value for quality
Not cheap but honestly good value when you consider quality. Each bite is worth savoring. Lasts longer than junky sweets because it satisfies.

Great dark selection
Their dark selection box was wonderful?each flavor stood out. A couple pieces too sweet for my liking, but most were spot on. Packaged beautifully. I think a little discount for multi?bar buys would be nice.

Disappointed with quality
I was really excited to try Cluizel after seeing their fancy website, but honestly the chocolate didn?t live up to the hype. It had a weird texture, like it melted and re-hardened during shipping. Some pieces tasted bland too. It just didn?t feel fresh. For this price point, I expected artisan quality. Sadly it reminded me more of mass produced stuff. The shipping box was nice though, so at least it looked impressive.

Truly indulgent
Got the dark chocolate ganache box and wow, it?s indulgent but not heavy. One or two pieces were enough to satisfy without going overboard.

Too sweet for my taste
I usually enjoy trying high-end chocolates, but this one missed the mark. I ordered a truffle box and almost every piece was too sugary. I could barely taste the cocoa in some of them. It?s supposed to be gourmet, but felt more like candy-store sweet. I liked the presentation and the eco-friendly info they share, but if the taste isn?t right then it doesn?t matter much. I won?t be reordering anytime soon.

Decent vegan bar
Their non?dairy dark bar was fine?rich and clean but not as creamy as dairy version. Shows effort for plant?based options though. I?d love to see more flavors in that line, but still nice first try.

Website was easy to navigate and informative. Made choosing flavors simple. Checkout smooth. Shipping took a bit long but it seems busy season. Chocolates taste refined and I?m happy with choice.

Lovely flavors, slight sweetness
Their milk chocolate pralines were sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. Texture was velvety, and fillings nicely varied. I wish they had a little more fruity options though. Great experience but would love more adventurous combinations next time.

Makes a statement
This chocolate just feels elevated. I brought it to a dinner party and everyone asked where it?s from. Not your average grocery store candy for sure.

Taste worth price
These chocolates are definitely premium in taste and presentation. Feels worth the money for special occasions. For casual snacks maybe not everyday choice. I also wish they had store locator to see local retailers.

Great shipping care
Ordered during hot summer and package arrived cold?packed and in perfect shape. Chocolates taste fresh and flavors clear. I think price would be more justified if they add a small discount or loyalty program. But still, quality product.

Perfect gifts
I sent their 28?piece truffle box to my sister for her anniversary. She said it was ?divine? and every truffle tasted different. Apparently they used fresh ingredients, you can taste it. Order came fast and nicely wrapped.

For my wife?s birthday, got the 70?piece box. She was delighted and shared with friends. Flavor range was wide?hazelnut praline to caramel. Everyone said it tasted luxurious.

Total letdown
This was supposed to be a treat for my partner and I, but neither of us liked it. The flavors were either too strong or completely off. One tasted like it had gone bad. I don?t usually leave reviews, but this was just too disappointing. Especially for something that?s priced like a luxury product. I don?t mind paying more for quality, but this wasn?t it. Super underwhelming and honestly kind of frustrating experience.
