frequently asked questions (FAQS)
Is it necessary to keep it in the refrigerator?
It is not strictly necessary before opening, but it is recommended to store it in a cool place. Once opened, keeping it in the refrigerator will help preserve the freshness of the cocoa notes.
Why is it dairy-free?
Lavie seeks to highlight the purity of the main ingredient. By avoiding dairy, the dark chocolate flavor remains crisp and the texture becomes more elegant and less heavy on the stomach.
Does it contain a lot of alcohol?
It has the typical alcohol content of a gourmet liqueur (around 18%-20%), which allows the alcohol to act as a vehicle for the aromas without overpowering the delicacy of the chocolate.
