Auguste Pralus: Best Worker in France
The history of Maison Pralus is closely linked to excellence and passion, embodied first and foremost by Auguste Pralus, distinguished by the prestigious title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 1955 (MOF).
This recognition, far from being a point of arrival, marked the beginning of a family legacy where the passion for the profession is passed on from father to son. From MOF distinction, symbol of exceptional artisanal know-how, was born the unfailing commitment of the Pralus family to perpetuate traditional methods while bringing a touch of innovation and creativity.
Artisanal work, a true pillar at Pralus, is at the heart of each creation, guaranteeing quality products that tell the story and values of the house. From Praluline© to finely crafted chocolates, each product is the result of unique know-how, which is enriched over generations.
Recognition as a MOF is not only a personal honor for Auguste Pralus, it is the promise of quality and excellence that the family is committed to upholding, ensuring gourmands have an unforgettable experience with every tasting.
