Since 1842, a name pronounced with reverence by pastry chefs worldwide: the great French house of couverture and creative chocolate.
History & Expertise
Founded in the 19th century by Charles Barry, the company set itself a mission early on: to provide artisans and chefs with couverture chocolates of impeccable quality. Nearly two centuries later, it remains the benchmark for professionals, from neighborhood workshops to grand hotels. Its expertise begins at the source: the selection of cocoa beans. The Heritage collection favors carefully selected West African cacaos, valued for their consistency and ease of use — smooth melting, shine, and stability when tempered. Other ranges explore more expressive profiles, with intense and pure notes, for creations that demand character.
Specialties
Dark, milk, or ivory couverture, easy-to-measure pistoles, cocoa powders: each product is designed for professional use, but also delights demanding amateur pastry chefs. Smooth ganaches, mirror glazes, airy mousses, homemade chocolate bars: with good couverture, anything is possible — and the difference from supermarket chocolate is evident on the palate from the first bite.
FOODHUB offers a selection of Cacao Barry products to make chef-quality chocolate accessible to all kitchens.
