Chef Jafer

Chef Jafer starting cooking at an early age, he grew up in rural Beaujolais region of France, Roanne. With over 30 years of experience as a professional chef in N.Y and SF leading hotels and Restaurants ( Mandarin Oriental Hotel, SF. Michel Richard SF, Polo lounge NYC, Claude Troisgros NYC …) Jafer picked up the habit of nibbling on some chocolate during hectic services hours, (to calm the nerves!) after learning the craft of pastry in France with local artisans, it becomes clear that chocolate is a passion that kept growing and needed to be explored, Jafer began seeking the best chocolatier to learn from in SF and in Lyon France.

“Chocolate and confections remind me of my childhood when we stopped at the local boulangerie after school for chocolate bars and artisans candy. At Zam we try to recreate these treats, instigating a fleeting memory, a moment frozen in time, a pause in our busy lives, we hope you will enjoy these sweets as much as we enjoy making them!”

Definitely reminds us of the nougat we got in France, super yummy. Need to watch for the paper on it but even then still giving 5 stars

Definitely can taste the orange and pistachio, love it

Yummy! Just got to look out for the paper

Yummy

So I ordered a sampler of the fruit jelly type squares (the name escapes me at the moment) and I was blown away. The flavor was amazing and the texture was enjoyable as well. My son and I have split the box and are almost through them already and I will definitely order more soon. Thank you 😊

We had a great experience ordering from Zam. My wife has been craving pâte de fruit and hasn’t found high quality like she had while living in France until now. Zam Artisan Chocolate’s pate de fruit is delicious (especially the guava and pineapple), cute packaging, and they even included a couple of bonus candies of different types in our box. Thank you!
