Celebrate the Joy of Dairy with a Gourmet Chocolate Platter from Le Chocolatier
Shavuot is almost here, bringing with it a holiday unlike any other on the Jewish calendar. Known for celebrating the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, Shavuot is steeped in tradition—and one of the most beloved customs is enjoying dairy meals.
While many Jewish holidays revolve around meat dishes, Shavuot stands out for its focus on creamy, dairy-rich foods. And here at Le Chocolatier, we like to take that one step further. Shavuot is the perfect occasion to indulge in our gourmet dairy chocolate—rich, smooth, and made to be savored.
Why Do We Eat Dairy on Shavuot?
The tradition of eating dairy on Shavuot has several beautiful explanations. One of the most well-known is that when the Israelites received the Torah, they had not yet learned the kosher laws regarding meat preparation. As a result, they chose to eat simple dairy meals.
Over time, this practice became a cherished part of the holiday, symbolizing purity, new beginnings, and the richness of Torah learning. And let’s be honest—it’s also a delicious excuse to bring out the cheesecakes, blintzes, and yes... the dairy chocolate.
The Sweetest Tradition: Chocolate on Shavuot
For most holidays, our customers look for parve chocolate—perfect for serving after a meat meal. But Shavuot is the one time of year when dairy chocolate is not only permitted, it’s encouraged.
This means you can treat yourself to:
-
Milk chocolate truffles with silky hazelnut or coffee centers
-
White chocolate bark, sprinkled with toasted almonds and dried cherries
-
Creamy bonbons, hand-decorated and filled with ganache
-
Chocolate-dipped strawberries, paired with mini cheesecake bites
Every piece is handmade, kosher, and crafted from the finest ingredients in our kitchen.
