The Pioneers: Jane & Fabien
Their story is a blend of passion and creativity. Jane, a lawyer turned Chocolate Maker, and Fabien, a Sound Engineer with fine French culinary genes, embarked on a chocolate-making adventure out of necessity and desire. As vegans and lovers of fine chocolate, they were driven to explore the cacao industry in India, which led to the birth of Mason & Co.

What sets Mason & Co apart is the attention to detail in every stage of the chocolate-making process. Working directly with organic farmers in South India, they ensure the cacao beans are harvested and processed to the highest standard. There are no brokers, no shortcuts; only a dedication to pure flavor and quality.
