Le Caméléon

Who we are?

Le Caméléon is the “chocolatería con-sentidos”, promoting the culture of cocoa and chocolate. It opens the door to sensory and special experiences, only created by the Belgian and Mexican fusion. Our chocolate is unique, as our story: with flavours, textures and processes perfected through three generations of Belgian chocolatiers.

Our work was rewarded awarded with the bronze recognition of the International Chocolate Awards, America & Asia Pacific 2016, for our white chocolate with hibiscus bar which converted it as the first Mexican chocolate bar to get an award in this competition. We received three awards in 2017, five in 2018 and five in 2019, including a special gold medal for our cocoa paste So. Xo. Root 7 Blanco Jaguar, a gold medal and special gastronomic award for our grasshopper filled chocolate.
