On Monday, December 20, 2010, the executive partner of Livents attended the 10 year anniversary of the famous pastry chef, Jacques Torres. At the event and throughout the chocolate factory, tables were set-up for sampling of chocolates, desserts, smoked salmon, roast beef, caviar, and much more. This was a test of the taste buds. Jacques Torres grew up in France and developed a love for baking at a very young age. He has traveled around the world, taught others his talent, gained a degree of Master Pastry Chef, and was awarded the Meilleur Ouvrier de France metal. Now he celebrates the 10 year anniversary of his chocolate business. How inspiring!
