Pioneering chocolatier?
"As an intern at Bernachon, I had the idea of making my own chocolate from cocoa beans." Born in the late seventies, François Pralus' passion for cocoa has never left him. Today, he is an exceptional master chocolatier and is one of the pioneers of "bean to bar", i.e. chocolatiers who make their chocolate from bean to bar.
With 20 boutiques across France, Maison Pralus now offers the experience of “real chocolate”, dear to François Pralus.
For each bean origin, traditional artisanal techniques are used for roasting, conching, and molding. Each of these steps helps develop deep and rich aromas, characteristic of Pralus chocolates.
Each chocolate bar is the result of meticulous attention and expertise, which guarantees its quality.
