A passion for chocolate for 3 generations
For three generations, the Guattaris, Louis – the founder, Jean – the developer and Yves – the man who introduced the brand, and the current CEO, have combined a respect for tradition and a continuous passion to chocolate innovation. Each and every day, MONBANA strives to create exceptional products so that the journey undertaken by real chocolate enthusiasts to discover new flavours always guarantees them the pleasure of a high quality chocolate.

A delicious history…
In 1934, Louis Guattari founded the company MONBANA, specialising in the manufacture of cocoa butter. It rapidly expanded its know-how to roasting and pressing the beans and then on to the development of cocoa powder for breakfast drinks.The development of the brand continued under the leadership of Jean Guattari, who diversified the know-how of the firm by launching a line of premium confectionery, which quickly became the most expensive in all Paris.
1978 saw the creation of the first small chocolate squares, which have now become an indispensable accompaniment for coffee.
In 2001, Yves Guattari became CEO and began to reposition the MONBANA brand.He opened up the company to the international markets and the general public with sales in delicatessen stores and today the opening of MONBANA boutiques, as well as the launch of several new ranges, from flavoured chocolate powders to the creation of a line of exceptional gourmet chocolates.
In 2011, MONBANA’s expertise in producing fine chocolates was rewarded by three “Fèves d’Or”, thus consecrating MONBANA as
one of the “Best Chocolate-makers of France”.

A concept revolving around chocolate:the boutiques
The richness of its product range prompted MONBANA to create a new store concept, which has proved immensely successful with the public.
A powerful andattractive conceptMONBANA has responded perfectly to the modern trend of “Manufacturer” boutiques. These shops also attract many customers thanks to their strong visual identity: colour code, furniture, merchandising…It is a concept that has proven its worth:• 96% of customers like the store*• 95% intend to purchase*
A typology that emphasises choice and attractivenessOver a sales area of 100 to 150 m², the whole world of chocolate is on show. Today MONBANA has acquired a real expertise in the creation of a whole concept and design of its own boutiques, showing the whole world of chocolate presented in elegant displays and enhanced through chocolate tastings and cookings by our master chocolate makers.

This trip you have just enjoyed, travelling through the flavours of
the MONBANA world, has been a real pleasure to share with you.
I love to follow people’s gaze as it goes over these pages, revealing
the femininity and sensuality so characteristic of chocolate, so
characteristic of MONBANA. It is a world that opens up to us the
daily life of a woman who is free, beautiful, loving…
Imagine her receiving a gourmet gift during a romantic dinner
for two: a gift box of chocolates that will be the ideal accompani-
ment for her coffee. Or, sparkling with life, she likes to surprise her
friends over a glass of champagne and chocolates that melt in the
mouth. And in the morning, as she gets ready in the bathroom,
with a cup of hot chocolate close at hand.
We follow her through her life, her precious moments of
gourmet chocolate rituals.
MONBANA is constantly reinventing these rituals, thanks to its
new lines, textures and flavours. Our MONBANA is an experience
that goes beyond taste…it is an experience made of rituals. These
rituals are the expression of MONBANA’s creativity and innovative
spirit, and, along with to our know-how in our core trade, mean
that MONBANA is now widely acknowledged to be the expert
in chocolate drinks but also the specialist in gourmet chocolate
squares.
Meet us, taste us and enter the MONBANA world, so that
chocolate can always be a ritual of pleasure.
