Who is the chocolate maker?

Our chocolate maker is Elisabetta Passafaro (26 years old). A young chocolate expert who is really passionate by premium and ethical cacao.

Elisabetta studied at Accademia Maestri Cioccolatieri Italiani in Italy and obtained her certification in 2019. She finished her internship with a travel to Brazil to develop her knowledge about the bean to bar process.

All our chocolates are produced exclusively by Elisabetta in our premises.

Are you Fair Trade?

To produce our handmade chocolates, we only use traceable cocoa beans from all around the world. From Costa Rica to India, we choose the rarest beans to develop all the flavors in an original chocolate with an unique taste. Making chocolate is an art.

We pursue a policy of direct trade with farmers in accordance with the principles of Fair Trade.

We do everything in our power to ensure that the conditions in which our cacao is grown allow planters and their families to develop a long-term business strategy.

We take particular care to ensure no children work in the production of our cacao, that there is no forced labor and that all national and international labor regulations are respected.

How are identified your chocolates?

All our chocolates are identified by a 13-digits number called GTIN (Global Trade Item Number).

We partner with GS1, the global authority for the unique identification of products and companies, to issue the GTIN of our chocolates.

Our main Global Location Number (GLN) is 5407008470005. It is linked with our head office in Brussels. We are using this number to clearly identify our location. All our chocolates are handcrafted at our main GLN.

All products starting by 540700847XXXX are handcrafted by us in our Brussels store.
