Jacques Torres Chocolate is committed to creating fresh, authentic and handmade artisan chocolates for all to experience and enjoy. We utilize only all natural ingredients of the highest quality so our food not only tastes better – it is better for you. From cleverly named chocolate bon bons, award winning hot chocolate, decadently rich chocolate chip cookies to all natural ice cream, Jacques Torres Chocolate is proud to produce real food bursting with real flavor made without taking any shortcuts or adding any preservatives, extracts or “essences.” Established in 2000 in New York, Master Pastry Chef Jacques Torres’ chain of chocolate factories and retail boutiques are his American Dream come true. In 1986, he became the youngest pastry chef in history to earn the prestigious Meilleur Ouvrier de France (Best Craftsman of France) medal in pastry. Fondly known as Mr. Chocolate, Jacques Torres combines traditional French techniques with his vast knowledge and passion for the culinary arts to produce luxe, creative and edgy chocolate treats inspired by the innovative spirit and energy of the city. Jacques Torres Chocolate is quintessential New York. Real. Authentic. Original.
