FOUNDER
The story began when 11-year-old Nizar Choucair fell in love with chocolate but it all really took off years later with a single piece of chocolate in 1974. Back then our founder, Nizar Choucair, created the chocolate gifting concept, elevating chocolate to new dimensions. Through his original vision, he realised that chocolate has the power to create experiences and to bring distinct feelings, emotions, memories, and instances into people’s lives. His vision became a notable brand journey as Patchi evolved significantly, reaching new cultures, markets, and celebrations. And this is Patchi’s exclusive heritage. A cosmos that now spans unique chocolates, delights, treats, gift boxes, gift arrangements, and more.
SAVOIR-FAIRE
Everything is meticulously made at Patchi’s Atelier. This savoir-faire and know-how culminate in unique creations. Offerings and experiences that can only be Patchi. The bustle of chefs using premium ingredients to experiment with different flavours and exclusive recipes. Decorative items handmade in sumptuous fabrics. A medley of lace, velvet, silk, and refined stitching. A rich palette of colours. Boxes, packaging, and bags with the essence of stunning design in every cut, fold, and embellishment. Dazzling silverware (ISO-9001-2008) welded and polished into distinct statements. It’s an inspired experience of chefmanship, craftsmanship, and perfect precision with talented artisans creating in a safe work environment with minimal environmental impact and real focus on quality. All in-house. Self-sufficient. A full supply chain. This is the beating pulse of Patchi’s savoir-faire.
