Alain Ducasse to open first chocolate shop in London

Written by: Katie Imms
Celebrated French chef Alain Ducasse is to open his first chocolate shop in London this October, it was announced yesterday (14 June).

Located at Coal Drops Yard in King’s Cross, the shop – as with all Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse - will sell the brand’s single-origin and flavoured ganaches, pralinés ‘à l'ancienne,’ chocolate bars and more.

 

It comes as Ducasse was named the Craft Guild of Chef’s 2018 International Chef of the Year earlier this month (4 June) - the attention to detail in his signature chocolate brand a testament to this.

 

‘Born from the desire to return to the source,’ all products sold at Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse ‘are made traditionally in Paris,’ with the entire process overseen by artisan chocolate maker, Nicolas Berger.

 

Together, Ducasse and Berger source cocoa beans from around the world before adjusting, adapting, tasting and “fine-tuning them to create chocolates that best express their origins and character.”
