Chocolat Bonnat is a French chocolate brand that started in 1884. It has been passed down the family for generations. Son, grandson, and great-grandson of chocolatiers and confectioners, Stéphan Bonnat, is one of two or three professionals in the world to link the complete mastery of his profession to the origin and quality of cocoa beans. He visited his first cacao plantation at the age of 17 and learned all there was to know about cocoa farming from South-American farmers. Stéphane may have travelled across Europe to train with the best, but he also learned Bonnat's unique techniques and the secrets of great chocolate by working with his father Raymond in the family laboratory.
