Dolfin ChocolateMichaël and Jean-François Poncelet say that
chocolate runs in the family. Their father, a remarkable figure belonging to the
great Belgian tradition, instilled in them a fascination for this outstanding
product. They made their minds up in 1989 to create the Dolfin
company. Their idea was to draw on the original sources of chocolate, highlight
its strengths and pure taste, whilst appealing to the discerning buying public
and catering for the increasing demand for authenticity. Always bearing in mind this craftsman's approach,
forcing the tool to meet the demands of quality, rather than the other way
around, the Poncelet brothers are perfectly happy with their decision. Sales are
rising steadily, amounting to 220 tonnes in the year 2000, with 40% earmarked
for the export market. Their top-of-the-range bars and Neapolitan chocolate
squares are now on offer in prestigious emporiums such as Selfridges in London,
La Grande Epicerie in Paris, the KDW in Berlin and the Sony Plaza in
Tokyo.
