About the maker

When Mélanie Paulau was introduced to the world of chocolate as a child, she never thought she would become one of the few bean-to-bar chocolate makers in France – she found chocolate too fatty and too sweet, with no interest to her taste buds. But when Mélanie stumbled upon the Bean To Bar Craft Chocolate movement, she discovered that chocolate could taste of more than just pure sugar, and have real values! Since, Mélanie has been paving the way for other French craft chocolate makers, working at her bean-to-bar chocolate factory located in Vendée, with an all-women workforce. Passionate about their work, Mélanie and her colleague Marion constantly strive to create chocolate products that are both delicious and adventurous.

The beans

The beans in this bar come from the Norandino Cooperative in the Piura Valley of northern Peru. This well-sized cooperative has managed to establish a market for its high-quality beans and dissociate from the market price. The well-organised farmers have a long heritage of cacao, and together they are able to perfect their processes and make a healthy living off their cocoa farming.
