In the heart of Barcelona, sheltered by the towers of Santa María del Mar, Gabriel Amatller opens a shop to start his commercial activity in the city of Barcelona. The Borne and Ribera neighborhoods begin to enjoy the first ounces of chocolate. In his small workshop, and thanks to the incorporation of a mill, he begins to expand the points of sale until he reaches different places in Catalonia. Antoni and Domingo Amatller, sons of Gabriel Amatller, join the business and expand their activity of importing and marketing colonial fruits, thus ensuring the supply of cocoa, coffee, sugar, and vanilla for the manufacture of their chocolate.
