Chef Olivier Saintemarie’s journey in the world of pastry is a testament to his deep-rooted passion and relentless pursuit of excellence. His love for baking was sparked at the age of 11 during holidays spent at his uncle’s bakeries in Paris. This early exposure to the art of pastry set the course for his future, and by age 15, Saintemarie had made the bold decision to forgo a
conventional education to pursue his passion full-time.
