of taste
Chocolate: a seemingly simple product, but one whose complexity of flavors is often overlooked. Sandra Mielenhausen and Nicolas Rozier-Chabert understood this when they embarked on their entrepreneurial journey with Plaq, a company focused on transforming raw cocoa beans into a high-quality product. Drawing inspiration from the cocoa bean culture in the Americas, the couple adopted the artisanal and high-end "bean to bar" model. With a dose of passion and a love for good food, taste is cultivated and expressed throughout the entire Plaq universe. From manufacturing to sales, the art of chocolate unfolds transparently before the eyes of customers in their boutique located in the heart of Le Sentier in Paris.
