About Us: The Journey of Giuliana and Afonso Pimenta
Welcome to the world of Giuliana and Afonso Pimenta, a duo bound not just by marriage but by an unwavering passion for creating unforgettable moments through the art of fine confectionery. As proud Brazilians and entrepreneurs, our journey is a testament to love, dedication, and the magic of blending tradition with innovation.
Our Roots and Inspiration
Giuliana, with her Libra's balance and creativity, brings a background in advertising to our colorful world, while Afonso, an Aries through and through, combines his legal acumen with a profound love for gastronomy, a legacy passed down from his mother and grandmother. Our story began in the corridors of our school, a meeting of minds and hearts that has grown stronger with every passing day.
Raised in families where the kitchen was the heart of the home, we were imbued with a love for culinary excellence from a young age. Giuliana's father introduced her to the intricacies of flavors, while Afonso was crafting sweets under the watchful eyes of his mother and grandmother. This shared passion for gastronomy led us to a pivotal moment in 2008, at the tender age of 18, when Giuliana Pimenta Bem Casados e Doces Finos was born from our collective dream.
The Evolution of Our Craft
Our entrepreneurial voyage commenced with crafting exquisite chocolates for children's parties, quickly becoming a cherished part of celebrations from maternity wards in São Paulo to baptisms and birthdays. This success laid the foundation for our foray into the world of wedding confections, where we sought to infuse traditional flavors with a unique twist, delighting brides and their families alike.
Our commitment to innovation and quality saw our business flourish, transforming us into a household name for over 400 weddings annually in our early 20s. Yet, our thirst for knowledge and growth led us beyond Brazilian shores.
A Global Perspective
A decade into our journey, we ventured to Italy, immersing ourselves in the study of Coffee Economics and Science in the picturesque city of Trieste. Here, we were inspired by the rich culinary heritage and the breathtaking beauty of Piazza Unità D’Italia. Our quest for global experiences took us next to London, our current home, where we continue to expand our horizons and our business ventures.
Today, Giuliana Pimenta stands as a beacon of our love and dedication, continuing to enchant in São Paulo, where we deliver over a thousand weddings per year, while we explore new opportunities in London. Our journey from passionate young entrepreneurs to international confectioners is a story of love, learning, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
Our Promise
At the heart of Giuliana and Afonso Pimenta's story is a commitment to creating moments that linger on the palate and in the heart. Our chocolates are more than just treats; they are invitations to experience joy, to celebrate love, and to savor life’s most precious moments. Join us on this delightful journey, where tradition meets innovation, and every bite is a testament to our passion for the extraordinary.
Welcome to our world, where every creation is a love letter to the art of fine confectionery.
