Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse
From bean to bar
Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse Manufacture is born from the desire to return to the source, the very essence of what chocolate is made of: precise, meticulous and creative work, a craft that works with bespoke machinery, a drawn out process. In a world in constant motion and at an increasingly rapid pace, this environment returns to a slower, more patient time.
Passionate about the quest for the essential, Alain Ducasse and his artisans chocolate makers select their cacao beans based on purity and personality: sourced from about fifteen locations, resulting in as many unique flavours. Each bean is worked according to its character.
All our creations are made in our Manufacture in the heart of Paris, one of the few workshops where chocolate is made by hand, from the cocoa bean to the chocolate. Each step of the confection process is mastered and controlled. Craftsmen can allow themselves to explore and innovate. “Here, we can allow ourselves certain things, creative choices that could not be attempted in an industrial context,” Alain Ducasse rejoices.
