The Chocolate Woman
The Ivory Coast Chocolate Master Suzanne KABBANI
How did you start
Suzanne's grandfather arrived in Ivory Coast in 1957 well before independence. She was born in Abidjan at the University Hospital of Treichville. Her father Mohamed Kabbani, a businessman of great culture, was awarded the New Millennium International Transit Award, an epicurean by nature, he instilled in him from an early age the art of culinary discovery and the love he bears to the French literature.
Suzanne grew up with Ivorian culture in her blood after several jobs in different fields, she decided to create the "Douceurs de Suzanne"
This chocolate woman is the Ivorian chocolate master who has enforced the "made in Côte d'Ivoire" label in the world. Renowned for the quality of its high-end products with high percentages of cocoa.
She makes from the land of cocoa an unrivaled Ivorian chocolate by its aroma that often brings you back to the cocoa plantations. She leads a continuous fight throughout the world for her country, the world's largest cocoa producer, she is the guardian angel of cocoa planters and producers.
Suzanne, where are you from?
I come from the sacred forests where I was born, from this land called the “land of hospitality”

I have always liked to discover other countries for other flavors, but forever the wind, far from shore, carries me away, I always come back because my home is where my heart is. It is therefore quite naturally that you will find the love that I have for my homeland in my recipes to accompany around your festive meals, your gourmet aperitifs or a snack break.
I like this little taste that brings me back to the cocoa plantations, this crunchy taste, this little roasted taste with a burnt caramel and the acid scent of an exceptional fermentation. Yes, I love my job, because it tells me about you, us and our stories together.
OUR FARMERS
The Ivory Coast accounts for 40% of global cocoa production, making it the largest cocoa producer in the world. Our farmers, who come from 18 different cocoa-producing regions and take great pride in their Ivorian identity, are a source of immense pride for us.
Our main responsibility is to produce high-quality chocolate while also safeguarding the welfare of our farmers by offering them financial, educational, and medical assistance. Despite being the largest cocoa producer globally, our courageous farmers still face significant disadvantages. Thanks to our faithful customers and partners, we endeavor to make a positive impact on their living conditions and provide them with some comfort.
Our continued existence is owed to you and all those who purchase our chocolate. You may not be aware, but every time you buy our chocolate, you are joining us in our mission to improve the lives of our farmers.
Thank you from the heart.
OUR SIGNATURE
MADE IN IVORY COAST
Back in 2006, I established it at a time when there was little faith in products originating from Ivory Coast. Fast forward sixteen years, our team of women, hailing from various regions of cocoa plantations, whom I have nurtured with utmost care and dedication, have helped us attain a position of excellence and prestige that I take great pride in.
With great pride in the brand "Les Douceurs de Suzanne," we proclaim ourselves to be the finest chocolatiers in Africa.
We remain dedicated to serving you with our uniquely crafted flavors, which are distinctly Ivorian. Our Ivorian Master Chocolatier, Suzanne Kabbani, carefully studies every raw material from the 18 cocoa-producing regions of the Ivory Coast to create and shape African tastes.
Our production of 100% Ivorian chocolate is a testament to our professionalism and expertise.
