Tribute to Master Pastry Chef Gaston Lenotre

We are saddened by the news of the passing of master pastry chef Gaston Lenotre, who became known as "one of the greatest masters of taste".

As a young boy, Marc Demarquette was treated to fine Lenotre patisseries when visiting his grandmother, who was a frequent and loyal customer of Monsieur Lenotre at his first pastry shop in Normandy. Inspired by his talent, passion, creativity and rejection of mass production methods, Marc trained at the prestigious Maison Lenotre, where he was honoured to personally meet the master patissier.

”Gaston Lenotre was a true professional demanding only the highest standards. It is a great honour to have met and learned my craft from such a true master. He taught me never to compromise on quality, strive for perfection and to pass on the knowledge and skills of artisan craftsmanship to future generations. He will be truly missed, but his inspiration lives on.”

The UK's first pure Wild Chocolate

Over the centuries man has cross pollinated and bred cocoa trees especially for flavour and yield to suit industrial production on a larger scale. Up until now, the UK has never been introduced to a grade A chocolate made from a pure Wild cocoa bean from cocoa trees which remain totally untampered by man. These Wild cocoa trees grow in an underdeveloped and hard to reach Amazon region of Bolivia on raised areas of land, which stick out like small islands in the middle of the swampland. We hand-mould the wild chocolate into individual bars as well as create a wild chocolate ganache as part of our 'Demarquette Pure Collection' of Single Origin chocolates.
