About Petit Pot
- In 2014, while trying to find the perfect dessert to go with dinner, French pastry chef Maxime realized something was missing in his local grocery store: Pot de crème! As a fan of all things sweet, Maxime decided to address this craving by founding Petit Pot in San Francisco to bring not only pot de crème but a portfolio of delicious desserts to satisfy any American sweet tooth. He combined his knowledge of traditional French pastries with modern California culinary flourishes to produce authentic French desserts the way they’re meant to be enjoyed: with a smile!
- Eight years later, Petit Pot is now the fastest-growing brand of premium, organic refrigerated desserts in the U.S. Its pot de crème, riz au lait and plant-based desserts are made with fresh, simple and organic ingredients that are perfectly portioned in petite glass jars. Based in Emeryville, California, the company produces and markets products at major brick & mortar and e-commerce retailers across the U.S., including Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, Publix, Costco, Amazon Fresh and Imperfect Foods.
