Fleur Sauvage Chocolates
Chef Robert Nieto launched Fleur Sauvage Chocolates in April of 2019 after over 18 years of working as a professional Pastry Chef, Chocolatier, Sugar Artist, and Baker. Robert’s nickname, Chef Buttercup, came about like most nicknames, as a joke… 14 years later it has stuck!
In 2016, Robert was named one of the Top 10 Pastry Chefs in America by Dessert Professional Magazine. Throughout his career, Robert has completed a myriad of pastry competitions including being a member of Pastry Team USA for the Mondial des Arts Sucre international competition in Paris France (2018). Robert and his teammate came in 5th in the world in this intense and highly competitive competition. Robert has also competed in the Valrhona Chocolate Chef Competition (C3), Pastry Live, and even completed a full Ironman Triathlon.
In December of 2019, Robert and his team won the Food Network series, Holiday Wars! In December of 2020 he competed in the show Food Network series, Candy Land!
In December of 2021, Robert realized his dream of opening his own chocolate shop after years of planning, preparation and hard work. Fleur Sauvage Chocolates (Fleur Sauvage means Wild Flower in French) makes artistic and delicious chocolate bonbons, candy bars, chocolate tablets, and chocolate showpieces. We also offer a Sonoma County Tea Time Experience!
