In 2019, two brothers, one a chocolatier and the other a graphic illustrator, decided to join forces to found Cacao Experience, Strasbourg's first exclusively Bean-to-Bar chocolate shop.
Etienne, a chocolatier, was the driving force behind the Cacao Experience project, the idea for which came to him when he was still a teenager, spellbound by the psychedelic rock of Jimi Hendrix. This vision was then refined by his various professional experiences, in France and abroad, giving him a broad and in-depth knowledge of the chocolate-making profession. Along the way, the young man's intuition became an imperative necessity: to take chocolate out of the boredom and guilty mediocrity of the big industrialists.
Romain is a graphic designer and illustrator, with a passion for images. Through chocolate, he discovers a rich universe based on history, legends and travel.
Cacao Experience promises better remuneration for workers around the world, as a guarantee of quality and a means of emancipation through investment in the means of production. What's more, the two brothers select only organic materials and cocoa from agroforestry. Cacao Expérience is certified by Ecocert, 100% artisanal, carefully crafted from raw materials and with no added artifacts (vanilla, lecithin, preservatives, etc.). Cacao Expérience is a member of the French Bean-to-Bar and Artisan Chocolate Roasters associations.
