The 1st Belgian producer
We are the first Belgian producer of organic and bulk chocolate that has the aim to produce chocolate where we control the entire process from the cocoa bean to the chocolate bar.
At Nao, our team shares this same passion. This means we can coordinate the entire chocolate production chain, from the cultivation of the cocoa beans to the chocolate that you are holding.

He is at the base of the project and is full of ideas with a common thread : always improving the quality, our commitments and the guarantees we give.
Julien

If Christophe is full of ideas, it is Julien who implements them every day with the rest of the team. Beans, production, stock… So many instruments to coordinate so that the Nao score sounds right every day of the year.
