lavazza and new Ambassador Alixe Bornon unveil decadent and healthy desserts at Paris’ Roland Garros

In over 120 years of passion for coffee, #lavazza has collaborated with the best chefs in the world in the creation of unique recipes with coffee as the protagonist, making its know-how and its vocation available to support experimentation. Over the years, the brand has consolidated its role in the world of top gastronomy through collaborations with some of the most important personalities on the international gastronomic scene, such as Ferran Adriá, Carlo Cracco, Massimo Bottura and many others. The visionary ability of these great chefs, combined with Lavazza's in-depth knowledge of the product, create avant-garde interpretations of coffee that go beyond taste and involve all the senses, without losing sight of the quality of the pivotal ingredient, coffee of course.

Always at the lead of the latest trends, #lavazza supports those who share its values of innovation and excellence, such as #alixebornon, the talented pastry chef at Les Belles Envies. Diagnosed with diabetes at age 13, Alixe soon discovered the frustration of not being able to enjoy sweets until at 25 she left her job as a recruitment officer and created her pastry shop, where products are both indulgent, beautiful and healthy, allowing anyone to enjoy them. After months of selecting ingredients and working on recipes to create a range of beautiful and gourmet pastries, the Les belles Envies boutique was launched in February 2017.

Alixe joins the #lavazza Club of Chefs Ambassadors, working with the Turin-based coffee company to create exclusive recipes such as PERLE DE CAFÉ and COFFEE TIE-BREAK, both presented for the first time court-side at Paris’ Roland Garros, of which the company has been a partner for 5 years, within the larger framework of its partnership with all four Grand Slam tournaments.
