Cocoa Expertise, The Passion for Chocolate
A FRENCH CHOCOLATE PIONEER Chocolate was brought to France in1615 by QueenAnne of Austria, wife of King Louis XIII. At the time, chocolate was reserved exclusively for the elite. It wasn't until the 19th century that it spread to themasses. In 1814, Louis Parès built the first industrial chocolate factory, Cantaloup Cantala, in Arles-sur-Tech in southern France. Later, after a flood, the plant was moved to the Orles site near Perpignan. In 1962, the chocolate company was bought by Georges Poirrier and became Cantalou. Finally in 1989, several years after its acquisition by the CÉMOI brand, the company became CÉMOI.
