Schaal Chocolatier, Chocolate shop in Geispolsheim, France
Schaal Chocolatier is a chocolate maker and shop in Geispolsheim, in the Alsace region of France. The range includes pralines, ganaches, bars, nut or liqueur-filled chocolates, and gift boxes for special occasions.
Chocolate production began here in 1871, giving the company a history of over 150 years. Over time, traditional methods like copper pots and hand finishing were combined with modern enrobing and moulding techniques.
The shop is on Rue du Pont-du-Péage in Geispolsheim and is open Monday through Friday, closed on weekends. Parking is available nearby, and both the entrance and the parking area are accessible for wheelchair users.
Schaal owns a cocoa plantation in Ecuador, which allows the company to oversee the quality of the beans directly at the source. This level of control from the cocoa tree to the finished chocolate is rare for a manufacturer of this size.
