Enric Rovira grew up in Barcelona learning the bakery and chocolate business from his father. His chocolate creations reflect ultra-modern design and presentation, but with respect to Barcelona’s chocolate-making tradition. This important cultural and artistic fact lends strength to the slogan Enric Rovira Xocolater de Barcelona. |

Mi familia tenia una bakery en Barcelona y allí descubrí que el chocolate podía ser un buen aliado para desarrollar mi pasión creativa. Era un ingrediente delicioso con el que podían hacer una gran diversidad de productos que además, y a diferencia de la mayoría de productos de pastelería, era muy comercializable y exportable.
