Big Interview


colleagues at the factory who are responsible for making our chocolate; being the face of Vinte Vinte also means talking to customers, it is always about cacao and also about people. It is a never-ending cycle of hard work to be better at what we do and to teach people what real chocolate is, and this is only achieved by constantly talking to people, doing workshops, seminars, interviews such as this one.


What is the best advice you have received? Throughout my life I have received a lot of excellent advice, too much to all be shared here but collectively, they would be: Be true to myself; never give up and respect the raw


ingredients above everything – chocolate is all about cacao; invest time in talking to people, knowing them and what drives them and their culture – all of these things have hugely helped me in what I do.


I just want to add that chocolate is not a candy, chocolate is not about sugar, chocolate is not even about the percentage; chocolate is made of cacao which in turn is a fruit, a superfood, therefore, if respected and properly treated, chocolate will also be a superfood. I never ask for people to revere chocolate like I do, but I like to challenge people to taste real chocolate and I’m sure their life will change, just as mine did.
