Tradition

Our first own chocolate recipe has existed since 1952 and was developed in Düsseldorf, Germany. 

Initially, our first bean-to-bar chocolate was made in the kitchens of local restaurants. With a better access to high-quality ingredients from around the world and the growing prosperity in the region the demand for exotic chocolates also grew. Additionally, in this early days the demand from international business travellers increased, bringing Madame Chéri chocolate as far as Japan. Due to the increasing success of the varieties, we were able to professionalize and expand our production early on.

The Madame Chéri brand has been owned by Kaffee und Schokolade GmbH in Düsseldorf since 2014. In the old tradition, our now 16 varieties are produced and sold online and offline.

During the Corona Pandemic, we decided to focus more on digital channels. Since August 2022, Kaffee und Schokolade GmbH and with it the Madame Chéri brand have been under new ownership. However, we remain a family business that adheres to our tradition and embraces change for the better. 

 

 

Transparency & Sustainability

Transparency determines our communication, our production, and the marketing of our fine foods.

Whether internally or externally, we communicate openly about our actions and needs, but are also willing to accept our weaknesses and work to improve them - this is the only way we can learn from each other and develop further. We believe that businesses have a responsibility to be a strong lever for change in the world. We can use traditional and modern business tools to drive systemic, progressive social change by addressing issues such as climate change and social justice in our daily business.

In order to do cover this this complex topic as a thought leader, we have set up a scientific advisory board. This is headed by Dr. L. Nonnenmacher. In constant exchange with experts, we develop ideas and ways that Madame Chéri can make a positive contribution performs.

As a medium-sized family owned company we have the option of full transparency on all operations in our company. Being independent, we would like to preserve this high good.
