The team behind

As a small team of dedicated professionals, we combine our expertise and passion to achieve remarkable results together.

Our chocolaterie is only five years old, yet the path we have already traveled is remarkable. What could have remained a small, confidential artisan venture has quickly grown into a respected and recognized house, followed far beyond our initial expectations.

This success is above all thanks to our team. A small group of dedicated collaborators, but driven by an extraordinary energy and passion. Each one contributes their part: artisanal know-how, creativity, a commitment to excellence, and the desire to innovate while respecting tradition.

In just five years, we have managed to turn this collective passion into a true engine of growth. We have learned, grown, shared, and most importantly, we have proven that with conviction and cohesion, it is possible to achieve great things, even when starting small.

Today, we look to the future with the same flame that inspired us on day one. Our chocolaterie is still young, but it is carried by a strong spirit: a team united by a common mission—to offer the world authentic, ethical, and exceptional chocolate.
