In November 2023, Olivier Nasti opens his first chocolate shop in Kaysersberg. Discover the gourmet program of this new showcase.

One year after opening his Levain bakery, Olivier Nasti has just inaugurated a new boutique. On November 2, 2023, the chef of Le Chambard, named Chef of the Year 2023 by Gault&Millau, opened Skulptur, his first chocolate shop, in the streets of Kaysersberg.

For this new project, Olivier Nasti can count on the invaluable help of his pastry chef Jordan Gasco, in whom the chef has complete confidence. "He apprenticed as a chocolatier for six years before becoming a pastry chef. So I was sure we'd do something good together," enthuses the Alsatian chef.

This project, which "matured slowly", is the assurance for Olivier Nasti of having "a quality product, with a finely selected provenance, but also control over his services", with a showcase located in Kaysersberg, just opposite his bakery. "I wouldn't have set up a chocolate shop in the heart of Colmar, for example. I like having my teams close to me", admits the chef.

The Skulptur offer

The name of the boutique, Skulptur, illustrates Jordan Gasco's passion for creation and the art of form. As for taste, the chocolates imagined by the pastry chef "have a real link with what's done at Le Chambard. Over the years, Jordan has been able to adapt to my cuisine and to the seasons, which makes for a real coherence in our overall offering. There's a real respect for the seasons, especially when it comes to the fruits and berries used to garnish our chocolates and fruit jellies," assures Olivier Nasti.

Among the creations are dark chocolate bonbons with wood-infused caramel, hazelnut spread or puffed buckwheat, puffed cocoa fragments, mendicant-style pastes, fruit jellies and fruit jellies.s, fruit jellies with apple and fir buds, citrus and Alsace saffron, as well as orangettes and filled bars. While the Christmas collection is still in the pipeline, Olivier Nasti already confides that Manala, the traditional Alsatian figurines, will be offered in a chocolate version, with a touch of chocolate.We can't wait for the festive season!
