La Mara
Artisanal mastery from the chocolaterie
The chocolaterie La Mara from Regensburg represents exceptional pâtisserie and chocolate craftsmanship. Founded by master confectioners Max and Tamara, the small manufactory produces macarons and pralines of outstanding quality – with great care, precision and commitment to sustainability.
All products are handmade using high‑quality ingredients and – where possible – certified organic. The manufactory runs on 100% green electricity and relies on transparent, ethical supply chains. This blend of craftsmanship, flavour and sustainability makes La Mara one of Germany’s most exciting pâtisserie producers.
Macarons & pralines – indulgence with standards
La Mara macarons and pralines offer refined textures, natural flavours and modern pâtisserie. The macaron fillings are creamy, the shells delicate‑crisp and the flavour varieties range from fruity to chocolatey. The pralines combine elegance with depth of flavour.
Benefits for gastronomy
- Consistent premium quality – ideal for desserts, petit fours, banquets & catering.
- Reliable cost planning – thanks to precise portion sizes and stable flavour profiles.
- High‑quality visual appearance – perfect for modern presentations in fine dining.
- Sustainable production – strengthens storytelling and the kitchen’s ecological profile.
- Vegan & gluten‑free options (for macarons) – maximum compatibility for dietary concepts.
These products offer both flavour and conceptual value for any ambitious kitchen.
Original Beans – the chocolate behind La Mara
La Mara works closely with premium chocolate maker Original Beans, known worldwide for rare, fair‑trade and ecologically regenerative cacao varieties.
Original Beans stands for:
- Bean‑to‑Bar production: full transparency from origin to bar.
- Pure cacao – without additives.
- Regenerative agriculture & mixed forests.
- Fair wages – often up to 3.5× the market price.
- Climate‑positive footprint: every bar plants a tree.
La Mara uses this chocolate in fillings, coatings and praline creations, benefiting from the aromatic excellence of single‑origin beans such as Cusco, Femmes Virunga, Esmeraldas or Simply White.
