THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK

Quentin Ryckaert & Vincent Coja

Co-founders

The official account describes Quentin’s early spread-making experiments and founding the business with Vincent; both appear on its team page.

The story & the craft.

Allo Simonne's first batches began in a Montreal apartment with a stone mill and oven. The official account names Quentin Ryckaert and Vincent Coja as founders and connects the brand's name with Quentin's grandmother Simonne. Its hazelnut-and-chocolate spreads and bean-to-bar chocolate offer two different introductions to the workshop.

A jar provides a format for spreading or cooking, while a bar lets a buyer compare cocoa percentage, growing origin and additions. Read the selected recipe instead of transferring one spread's ingredients to another jar or bar. Hazelnuts are central to many spreads, and some recipes contain milk. The business describes local roasting, production and labelling; Canadian transformation does not make cocoa or hazelnuts Canadian-grown. The official homepage provides workshop contact details for recipe and ordering questions, including delivery arrangements adjusted for seasonal temperatures.
