BIG APPLE BUSINESS: Ricard Chocolat

Quality, excellence, the finest hand-selected organic ingredients. Raved about in numerous publications and amongst food critics alike. Richard Muszynski founded Ricard Chocolat in 1999 to create only the finest product for his customers, handcrafted exactly to suit each customer's needs down to the smallest detail.

Each chocolate is made using a single bean cocoa from Madagascar. All bon bons and truffles are enrobed in a 72% coverture. All seasonal produce and dairy are hand-selected fresh from the neighboring Green Market in New York's Union Square Park. Their unique handcrafted silkscreening process allows them to put any image, from your company's logo to your own personal design or even a photograph on an edible piece of chocolate. Custom ordering is always available and given the number one priority, custom tailoring your order exactly as you want it for any special occasion, wedding or business need.

All Ricard Chocolat products are made to order, guaranteeing superior taste and quality. Learning a love of the culinary arts from his mother at the age of 5, Richard Muszynski has worked in some of the finest food establishments in New York City. Originally after apprenticing in many a handful of notable restaurants in San Francisco, Richard went on to earn his masters degree from New York City's prestigious French Culinary Institute, which Richard still returns to on special occasions to present chocolate demonstrations to this day. As a private chef for several of New York's most prominent families, Richard Muszynski has traveled the globe, becoming a connoisseur of the ingredients found in many international locales. With an emphasis on the customer's needs and as well as maintaining the highest quality in their product served, Ricard Chocolat has won numerous awards and features including being named The Best Artisinal Choclatier in America in 2003 by the Travel Channel and receiving a five star rating from the Food Network who placed Ricard Chocolat as one of the Top 5 chocolate companies worldwide. The Ritz Carlton, the Four Seasons, Marriott, Versace, Cantor Fitzgerald, Christies, Rivington Hotel, Blakely Hotel, and many others are all counted amongst the regular Ricard Chocolat clientele.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
