“Chocolate is my one true love, next to my family, of course. I never dreamed I would have the opportunity to share my passion with so many people. My biggest hope is that my dedication shines through in each and every piece.” Antoine Amrani
Antoine Amrani’s love affair with chocolate began as a young child. Growing up one of seven siblings, Antoine recalls the memory of his entire family enjoying fine chocolates on very special occasions at home. Delighting in the variations of the flavors and in the spirit of generosity, they shared, so everyone could taste each one. Chocolates were a small luxury and simple pleasure.
Antoine marveled at the the creations of famous chocolatiers through the elegant vitrines of his favorite Parisian shops...where his dream of becoming a Chocolatier took shape. Creating fine pastries and confections came naturally. While training at the Ritz Escoffier in Paris, Antoine gained a deep respect for the patience, skill and tradition required for artisan chocolate-making. He continued his quest, honing his culinary skills under master chocolatiers throughout Europe, drawing inspiration from classic tradition and as well as developing his own vibrant innovation in flavor and technique.
Antoine Amrani Chocolates is a culmination of natural talent and experience, perfected during his tenure as Executive Pastry Chef at Georges Perrier’s renowned 5-star, fine dining, Le Bec Fin, where the dream of creating his own line took shape. According to Chef Perrier, “At Le Bec Fin, we accept only one thing; the finest. Antoine Amrani delivers beyond that expectation...with his exquisite line of chocolates.” Jean Banchet*, a highly respected French chef also shares his accolades; “Antoine Amrani creates the finest Chocolates in the United States...he is among a small group of the most talented chocolatiers in the world.”
Antoine’s business partner Fred Potok was equally amazed by his talents and exceptional chocolates. Antoine knew it was time to branch out on his own. Together they built a chocolate factory and launched Antoine Amrani Chocolates. Antoine’s passion and ability to create rich, exciting flavors and perfect textures is truly a superlative chocolate experience™ We invite you to look, taste, share...and enjoy.
