Ara Chocolat is a Parisian chocolate maker operating under the “bean-to-bar” principle, meaning they control the entire process - from cacao bean to finished bar. It was founded by Andrés and Sabrina, a Venezuelan couple, who wanted to connect their Latin American roots with Paris’s chocolate tradition.

Their philosophy is based on direct collaboration with small cacao producers in Latin America. A special focus is placed on preserving native cacao varieties, which carry the distinctive aromatic profiles of their terroirs.

Their commitment to sustainability is also reflected in supporting cooperatives that work on preserving cacao biodiversity. Through quality, authenticity, and a clear mission, Ara Chocolat has earned a special place among Parisian artisanal chocolatiers.
