“My love for chocolate started when I was still a child working for my dad in his pastry shop in France. I was 17 years old when I got my first job overseas and have never looked back since,” shares Jacques Prosper Poulain, Vice President of Food Service & Corporate Chef, Aalst Chocolate. “Throughout my career, I have been blessed to work with the best pastry chefs and MOF “Meilleur Ouvrier de France”, which translates to “best craftsman”. It is the biggest pastry title someone can earn in our industry. Together we have served some of the most prestigious and recognised celebrities around the globe. Travelling through different countries for more than 30 years gave me the perfect opportunity to satisfy my thirst for knowledge in everything related to chocolate, from visiting the most faraway cocoa plantations to picking the rarest cocoa beans, and tasting exquisite cocoa profiles and blends.”
