Ecuacao is more than just a chocolate brand – it's a unique taste experience that brings together Ecuador, the birthplace of cocoa, and Switzerland, the capital of fine chocolate. Founded in 2015 by Rafael, a passionate entrepreneur dedicated to honoring Ecuadorian cocoa, Ecuacao works directly with small local producers to ensure exceptional quality and fair compensation. A Fusion of Tradition and Innovation Each Nacional Arriba cocoa bean, hand-harvested in Ecuador, undergoes a meticulous process of fermentation, drying, and packaging before being sent to the Swiss chocolate factory in Molondin. There, under the expertise of Véronique, the beans are transformed using a blend of traditional methods and cutting-edge technology to create exceptional chocolate with unique and refined flavors. Sustainability and Responsibility Ecuacao is driven by a sustainable vision: ensuring agricultural practices that are both respectful and traceable while supporting local Ecuadorian communities. Each chocolate bar tells the story of high-quality cocoa grown with care and crafted with passion in Switzerland.

Nous nous sommes adressé à La Gourmandine pour un gâteau d'anniversaire à thème et le résultat était tout simplement excellent. Le travail était fait avec de la patience, avec de l'écoute envers nos demandes et avec le professionnalisme qui couronnait le tout. Merci infiniment !

Wir waren am Samstagnachmittag um 16. Uhr im Tea Room und hatten einen Tisch reserviert für 4 Erwachsene und 4 Kinder. Obschon das Tea-Room wegen einem Anlass in der Grand-Rue schon um 17 Uhr schloss, haben wir keine Hektik verspürt und wurden mit verschiedenen Glace-Coupes, usw. bedient. Die beiden Damen haben sich grosse Mühe gegeben auf die Wünsch der Kinder einzugehen. Chapeau. Wir können das Tea Room und die Bäckerei nur empfehlen.
