Label "Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant"

On October 28, 2014, the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Digital Affairs awarded Maison Caffet the label of "Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant" (Living Heritage Company), which brings together manufacturers committed to the high performance of their craft and products. One of the important criteria is the implementation of rare know-how based on mastery of traditional or high-tech techniques.

A real reward for all the work accomplished over the years by Pascal Caffet, to perpetuate his know-how through the use and maintenance of traditional methods, not forgetting his true mission of continuous transmission to the younger generations of pastry chefs and chocolatiers. Our traditional homemade praliné was one of the elements highlighted and recognized as the true know-how of Maison Caffet.
