Oriol Balguer

Oriol Balguer was born in Calafell (Tarragona) in 1971, showing a true passion for pastries from a very young age.  In his memory he still has a clear portrait from early childhood of his father working at the confectioner’s shop while he played at his feet with plasticine, creating miniature imitations of his pastries and sweets. He has never lost this fond memory.

After attending the Confectionery Trade School of Barcelona and the best patisseries in Spain and Belgium, he was hired to work with the team of Ferran Adria, who defined him as “one of the most well rounded professionals in the world of gastronomy”. At the age of only 23 (1993), he received the distinction as the Best Spanish Artisan Confectionery Master.

In 2003 he decided to take a leap forward and demonstrate his creative talent, formidable energy, personal attitude and critical thinking by creating a brand that would bear his name.

With an outlook inspired by architecture and design, Oriol Balaguer creates sweets and pastries that harmoniously blend refined artisan techniques and the perfect balance of flavors.

Inventor of new sweet pleasures, in a few short years he has created an exceptional culinary heritage whose recipes combine innovation and quality to meet the high standards of his clients.
