Nestlé has created a new luxury brand that delivers fresh chocolates, tailor-made for individual tastes.
Maison Cailler is a unique profiling system that consumers can use to discover their ‘chocolate personality’ and share the result with their friends online.
Within 48 hours of using the service, consumers will be sent a box of Maison Cailler chocolates that have been carefully selected to match their individual preferences.
“What we are offering is the perfect personalised chocolate,” says Cédric Lacroix, Director of Nestlé’s Chocolate Centre of Excellence in Broc, in the Gruyère region of Switzerland.
Personalised service
To determine someone’s chocolate personality, consumers first order a box of five ‘tasting’ chocolates to send to a friend or relative, or themselves.
“Chocolate has certain attributes that people distinguish in different ways. It is like tasting wine,” Mr Lacroix explains.
“The first five chocolates arrive with a set of instructions, designed to help people to discover the pleasure of the tasting experience.”
The recipient tastes the chocolates which contain hints of milk, caramel, nut, fruit, flowers, vanilla and cocoa. Then they rate them online using a simple questionnaire.
Maison Cailler is the latest in a series of innovative personalised products and services from Nestlé’s global research and development network.
A brief history of Cailler
François-Louis Cailler was born in 1796 in Vevey, Switzerland.
In 1819 he bought a small company that sold chocolate. In 1825, he began to make chocolate in Corsier, an industrial area of Vevey.
In 1832, he built his first big factory in the same town. He later built a second.
When François-Louis Cailler died in 1852, two of his sons took over the company and bought a new factory in Vevey.
In 1929, the company was bought by Nestlé. Today, the Cailler brand continues to produce chocolate at the factory in Broc according to the traditional recipes of its founder.
