Francois Pralus

Francois PralusThe legacy of Pralus began in 1955 when Auguste Pralus opened up a patisserie in Roanne. His son Francois took over in 1988 and continues the family business today, with an especially keen focus on single origin chocolate. After studying with the finest pastry chefs including the renowned Jean Jacques Bernachon in Lyon (the first patissier to discover the superiority of single origin Chuao over cacao blends and to use it in his chocolates), Francois decided to pursue his own passion—producing chocolate from bean to bar.

Francois' passion for cacao led him to search the equator for the finest. He has narrowed his sources to a few suppliers from South America, Africa, and Asia. Since the early 1990s, Francois has been zealous about the importance of origin. His hard work has paid off in the form of national and international awards, including the Grand Prix d'Excellence International du Chocolat in 1996 and 1997.
