Patisserie-Conseil, located in London, is a specialty fair-trade artisan chocolate maker, spearheaded by French-born Pastry Chef, Rodrigue Joab. What sets them apart is that their small-batch chocolate production is 100% vegan, plant-based, sustainably sourced, organic and pure. They only use natural ingredients in their purest form. With an international following of devout chocolate-lovers and an abundance of 5-star reviews, it’s little to no wonder that they have just been awarded the ‘Best Luxury Chocolate Bar, UK, 2021’. This title is no less bestowed by one of the world’s leading purveyors of luxury, the Luxury Lifestyle Awards, based in New York.

Known for their decadent chocolate offerings, Patisserie-Conseil embraces an operation that supports fair trade and sustainability. This ensures the farming community is paid fairly for their produce, and not exploited. It also acts as a hedge against child labor, which is commonplace in the cocoa farming industry worldwide.

Patisserie-Conseil are firmly committed to producing fine chocolate that’s an authentic representation of the region and terroir the cocoa beans originate from. It’s this company vision that drives their relentless global search for the best quality beans, that offer unique and complex flavor profiles. Their travels take them far and wide, meeting and forming relationships with cocoa farmers in key areas. This enables them to secure premium raw products, which is the starting point of their luxury chocolate creations.

A unique feature of their products is that the chocolate is made only using plant-based ingredients, and completely excludes dairy. This vegan-friendly luxury chocolate offering has attracted many fans, especially since the global consumer consciousness has been raised, where food health and compassion are central to their diet of choice.

Their award-winning end product is achieved with considerable attention to flavor, aroma, texture and overall appearance. The chocolate must take on the complexity of the terroir it originates from, where floral, fruity, sweet, forested and earthy notes are present.

Chef, owner, founder and CEO, Rodrigue Joab comments on winning this prestigious award, ‘It is indeed an enormous honor to receive this esteemed title. First and foremost, I dedicate this achievement to our valued farmers, suppliers and staff who work relentlessly to high standards in bringing the world our premium craft product. Thank you Luxury Lifestyle Awards for the recognition.’
