Pierre Marcolini - the only independent Belgian chocolate maker signing his chocolates - travels the world each year to discover new cocoa beans and new "grand crus de propriété" as he calls them. His work can also be characterized as poetic when we think of creations such as the brand chocolate ‘Fleur de Cacao’ – a pure origin chocolate mixing 50% beans from Ghana with 50% beans form Venezuala - a superb combination of “the power and earthy aspect of Africa with the finesse of South America” says Pierre Marcolini.
Through this video, Pierre Marcolini takes us into his world. We learn all the care and concern given to the product of course, but also to the presentation and the packaging. We’ve been sensitive to the design of the square tablets as you would imagine!

Pierre Marcolini has the soul of an adventurer in search of authenticity. Thus he brought the Baracoa bean back from Cuba two years ago, after a trip rich in negotiations. And that's no small feat when you know that the strategy of Cuba is to sell strictly no beans abroad in order to protect local microfabrics. Cubans had already sold cocoa liquor to Lindt in the past but no beans so far: they prefer to transform the raw material there so as to avoid losing the added value of the transformation process.
Quite a feat in short, that we can now discover and enjoy in one of his "haute couture" chocolate shop.
