During warm weather conditions, we will take extra precautions, including using innovative cold packaging including Styrofoam cooler boxes & freezer gel packs to keep your chocolates cool, ensuring your chocolates arrive in the best possible condition. When temperatures in the order’s destination city or anywhere along the shipping route reach 70°F, we urge you to select Overnight Shipping.

We ship our retail products using FedEx.  Therefore, we cannot ship to a P.O. Box. If you live in the Continental United States, you can use our online Shopping Cart to place your order.  Place your order by noon to ship out the same day. Orders placed after noon will ship out the following business day. However, because our products are made by hand in small batches, they are subject to inventory availability.

“G-Sleigh”

Many people love the Ghyslain Signature chocolates and Turtle Mosaiques because of their beautiful, bright colors, hand-painted finish and overall uniqueness.

A chocolate truffle is a type of chocolate made with a ganache center and coated in chocolate or cocoa powder. It’s spherical shape, similar to that of the top of a mushroom truffle, is where it gets its name.

Not all of our chocolates are truffles. Our classic truffles and hand rolled truffles are in the shape of a ball with milk, white or dark chocolate coatings, some with decorative chocolate drizzles.

No. Ghyslain just has a certain affinity for the little guys.

Ganache [guh-NOSH] is a filling made with chocolate and cream. It’s the soft center of most of our gourmet chocolates. Ganache is normally made by heating cream, then pouring it over chopped chocolate of any kind. The mixture is stirred or blended until smooth, with liqueurs or extracts added if desired.

We are committed to creating the highest quality chocolates for your enjoyment. Due to the delicate nature of our product, we recommend you store product in a cool, dry place. The proper environment for our chocolates is 65-70° F and low humidity. Storage in a refrigerator is not recommended.

Ghyslain uses fresh cream, fruit purees and flavors to give you a chocolate taste unlike any other. Because of this, we suggest you consume the chocolates within two weeks of purchase. However, if stored properly, chocolates can last up to four weeks. Chocolates not containing ganache (Collection de Caramel, chocolate sculptures & chocolate bars) will last up to six weeks.

To extend the life of your chocolates, they may be stored by tightly wrapping the box with two layers of plastic wrap and placing in freezer. When ready to enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator for 12 hours, followed by an additional 12 hours at 65-70° F.

Most of our chocolate is gluten-free. However, chocolate is prepared in the same facility as our bread products. If you are highly sensitive to gluten, this may cause a reaction. Click the “Gluten-free” category in the right column of the Store to see all our gluten-free products.
