Easter Sunday is approaching and with it come chocolate eggs.
As every year, there are many options on the market, with varied prices and designs.
Famous chefs did not miss the opportunity
and offer artisanal specialties that are
distinguished from industrial proposals by the raw material and presentation
.
White, milk or dark,
Belgian chocolate predominates
in the showcases of chefs and pastry chefs and even Damián Betular plays with pastel and vibrant colors in his edible bunnies.
The packaging is also a distinctive seal
.
They come presented in charming boxes designed for the occasion.
For these reasons, the price of chocolate eggs from famous chefs is higher than those found in supermarkets, confectioneries and even some chocolate shops.
Below, three proposals from distinguished chefs and pastry chefs and other artisanal eggs that are worth knowing.
