HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Coppeneur Chocolatier, Germany
In 2004, I discovered Copppeneur Chocolatier at ISM in Cologne, Germany, which at the time, was the world's largest chocolate trade show. What set Oliver Coppeneur apart from other exhibitors was the incredible quality of his truffles & pralines. He was also the first small-batch, bean-to-bar chocolate maker in Germany who purchases organic cocoa beans directly from the farmers.
We're Oliver's North American importer.
OUR MISSION
Bean-To-Bar Collection
Coppeneur Chocolatier is our focused brand, however, we sell a wide selection of high quality, single-origin, bean-to-bar chocolate brands.
MEET THE FOUNDER
I graduated from the University of Guelph with a BSc. (in molecular & cell biology). Shortly after, I trained as a chef at the Post Hotel in Lake Louise, the Four Seasons Hotel Yorkville and the Sutton Place Hotel in Toronto.
In 1990, I partnered with a former Chef to create Filmworks Catering for the Calgary Film Industry. We operated Filmworks for 17 years and then sold the business in 2006.
Off I went to another career in the film industry, this time as a crew & cast driver.
I couldn't leave the food industry behind, so my passion for great food evolved into a passion for great chocolate. Here I am driving Mexican actor Demián Bichir on 'Land'.
