In 1821, Mr Joaquim Cordomí Barnadés, set up an establishment in Salmerón Street (today known
as Gran de Gràcia) in Gracia, a popular neighbourhood in Barcelona , with a sign that said
"Stonemade Chocolate" as that was the way it was manufactured, with "matete" and a granite roll
(at present, these tools are on display at the factory's entrance).
|
At the early age of 16, Joaquim Cordomí Vilanova took charge of the family business due to
personal circumstances and, with his cousin's help, he founded the firm Rius and Cordomí which
lasted more than 40 years.
|
After, he bought the firm Bonbons Blasi: chocolate and bonbons manufacturing merged. The
factory was located in 1, Peu de la Creu Street in Barcelona and was managed by his son, Mr
Joaquim Cordomí Guinart up until his retirement in 1994.
|
|
 t present, a 4th generation is running
the company and a long term tradition established by the "Joaquim's" has been enhanced:
Javier Cordomí Font has opened with his wife's help, a little shop, museum and factory in 26
Alfons XII street in Barcelona where bonbons and chocolate are handmade.
|
|
Bonbons are manufactured following original eighty-year-old recipes; always maintaining
the gram thousandth in each of them.
|
Over time, Bombons Blasi have created more than 20 different types of bonbons always keeping
to the tradition of choosing first class natural raw materials. A brand-new bonbon is always
named by the first person who tastes it
|
Our customers can find:
300 different types of bonbons, chocolate, sugar-less
chocolate, chocolate nougat, Eastern eggs, "marrón glacé", catanias, chocolate grain,
bittersweet and sweet chocolate.
