Presentation

Of Portuguese origin, he won the title of World Champion in 2018 and 2022 at the Culinary World Cup, where he represented Switzerland in Luxembourg. In 2017, he earned the bronze medal at the Pastry World Cup in Lyon. He is currently the most decorated Portuguese pastry and chocolate artist on the global stage and one of the most awarded chocolatiers in Switzerland, having brought numerous titles to his adopted country.

The son of a chef father and a pastry chef mother, Jorge naturally followed in his parents' footsteps. At the age of seventeen, he emigrated to Switzerland to pursue his dream.

Jorge’s heart is divided between Switzerland and Portugal. He currently lives in Switzerland, where he is known for his artistry. However, he never forgets his homeland, which he continues to visit regularly. His remarkable journey has made him one of the world’s top chocolatiers and a proud ambassador of Portuguese immigrant success in Switzerland.

This passionate artisan holds three vocational diplomas (CFC): cook, pastry-confectioner, and baker. It was during his pastry training that Jorge discovered his true passion: chocolate — a field in which he has distinguished himself through immense talent and creativity.
