Pierre Marcolini was born in Charleroi, Belgium, on 12 July 1964. His maternal grandparents hail from Verona, Italy.[1]
He studied at the Centre d'Enseignement et de Recherches des industries Alimentaires et Chimiques (Ceria) and the Infobo of Uccle.
Professional life
Having qualified as a chef-pâtissier, he was employed variously in Belgium and France, including employment at such prestigious institutions as Wittamer and Auguste Fauchon.[2][3]
In 1995, he won the "World Champion Pastry Chef" in Lyon and opened his first shop.[4]
Visiting the chocolaterie of Maurice Bernachon, he was inspired by the artisanal methods of the Lyonese, henceforth considering him one of his mentors, along with the pâtissier Gaston Lenôtre.[5][6]
In 2007, Nestlé acquired a 6% stake in the business.[7] Marcolini then creates a chocolate flavour for Nestle subsidiary Nespresso, whereupon Nestle increased its share to 29%.[8] The partnership ended in December 2011 as Marcolini and other shareholders bought out Nestlé's share.[9] The following year, Marcolini raised additional capital from investment group NEO Capital.[10]
As of 2012, the corporation had 350 employees[1] and as of 2015 holds 30 shops, most notably in London, Tokyo, Paris and Brussels.[11] In 2012, it generates 32 million Euros in revenue.[citation needed]
The corporation has a manufacturing facility in Sablon, one of the most upmarket parts of Brussels.[12][13] Marcolini controls his production "from bean to bar".[14][15] He artesanally produces his own couverture chocolate, and selects his suppliers from among plantations in Brazil, Equatorial Guinea and Mexico.[7][16] In 2012, the company produced 150 tons of chocolate.[citation needed]
Marcolini has collaborated with other creatives such as the stylist Olympia Le-Tan and fashion label Kitsuné.[17]
Television
As of July 2013, he is a member of the jury of culinary reality TV show Qui sera le prochain grand pâtissier ? ("Who will be the next great pastrymaker?"), broadcast by France 2.[5]
