A Delicious Monthly Gathering with CCI France-Estonia

Every first Tuesday of the month, members of CCI France-Estonia (formerly CAdFE) come together in a warm and inviting atmosphere for a networking session focused on various topics. This month’s event was particularly special, hosted by Chocolala, a Gold Member of CCI, renowned for their artisanal chocolates.

A Tasty Networking Opportunity

The event offered a perfect opportunity for both seasoned members and newcomers to meet and forge connections. We were delighted to welcome three new members who introduced themselves and their exciting ventures:

• Sophie Bordes-Meunier from The Good Squad
• Dominique Marie Pierre Boulanger from Nordic Home
• Kristjan Jasinski from Stebby

These fresh introductions brought new energy to our network, paving the way for promising future collaborations.

Chocolala: A Delicious Host

Our gracious hosts, Youssef Laban and Kristi Lehtis, co-founders of Chocolala, welcomed the CCI members into their charming establishment. Founded in 2013, Chocolala has quickly become a prominent name in Estonia’s luxury chocolate scene, known for their innovative bean-to-bar creations.

A Journey into the World of Chocolate

The evening wasn’t just about networking—it was an immersive experience into the world of fine chocolate. Attendees had the chance to indulge in Chocolala’s exquisite creations while learning about the intricate chocolate-making process, where quality and craftsmanship were evident in every bite.

Chocolala’s chocolates highlight local ingredients like lingonberries, sea buckthorn, and even reindeer moss, showcasing the richness of Nordic culinary traditions.

Ethical Commitment

What sets Chocolala apart is not just their delectable products, but also their commitment to ethical practices. As the first Estonian company to be Fair Trade certified, Chocolala embodies values that resonate with many CCI France-Estonia members.

A Sweet Success

This gathering was a resounding success, blending the pleasures of networking with the joys of chocolate tasting. It exemplified the spirit of CCI France-Estonia’s monthly Meet and Share events—fostering connections, sharing knowledge, and celebrating the diverse talents within our community.

A heartfelt thank you to Youssef Laban and Kristi Lehtis for their warm hospitality and for making this event an unforgettable experience. We look forward to many more successful gatherings and fruitful collaborations in the future.
