SUMMERBIRD
food
Summerbird started out as a small company
spending no money on marketing or sales personal but today it’s a huge success with stores
all around Denmark. The simple philosophy was
from the beginning - only to use the best available locally grown ingredients and an exclusive
cooperation with Valrhona chocolate, which is
known to be best chocolate quality in the world.
Top-quality hand-made chocolate Summerbird
Chocolaterie is situated in one of Copenhagen’s best city-centre shopping streets. Here,
young dedicated people have been creating
top-quality hand-made chocolate for 15 years.
The philosophy behind Summerbird’s is to
give customers an outstanding taste experience. The basic component is their famous
marzipan made from 75% Valencia almonds
and 25% sugar. The raw-chocolate is from Valrhôna - no additives or preservatives. This, of
course, means limited keeping qualities, so
the chocolate sold here is always 100% fresh.
Summerbird is available in many shapes and
sizes: bars, different almond-based chocolates, as well as assorted chocolates. The best
known piece of chocolate is perhaps the butterfly-shaped marzipan covered in dark chocolate.
This has also given name to the shop, since the
Danish word for butterfly (sommerfugl) quite literally translates as ‘summerbird’. New inovations or
classics Another one to go for is the chocolate with
raspberry and peach: Alsatian raspberries and
white peaches from Gascony are transformed into
a light ganasche and thereafter combined with
the famous Valencia almond-based marzipan.
The beautiful ‘symponie de chocolat’ gift-box
offers a good selection according to season.
Classics such as marzipan with provence orange, gianduja, fresh raspberry ganasche,
and the pure amande, are always available.
