A LA FOLIE MEANS LIKE CRAZY IN FRENCH
At our house, we use it as a way of closing cards and emails: “Je t’aime á la folie!” Before I-love-yous, we worked side by side at Barry Callebaut, joining forces and inspiring each other to make the Chocolate Academy the success it is today. When we parted professional ways to start a life and family together, we always kept the dream of bringing our own passion project to light. That passion is A LA FOLIE, and we’re crazy-happy you’ve found us!
