Maison Porcella
When Maud & Marc-Henri met in France in 2013, they were eager to start a business independently. Maud was born and raised in Jura, in the French countryside. From Palaces in Monaco to family hotels in Paris, Maud spent 12 years working for renowned hotels throughout France. She grew up surrounded by hard workings entrepreneurs with different backgrounds, from farming to more specialized industries. From a very young age, she learned that being independent was one of the keys to happiness, and she always kept
in mind that one day she would start a business on her own.
Marc-Henri grew up in NYC, raised by a French mother and a Haitian father. He first envisioned a career in economy & political sciences but soon realized his passion was for gourmet cuisine and charcuterie. His Italian roots from his grand-parents allowed him to travel a lot as a child and open his mind and senses to these different cultures, American and European. Moving back to his country was always part of his plan; the rest is history.
Marc explains their dream of opening Maison Porcella: “I chose to move to Sonoma County, an area I had discovered many years ago during an internship I did in San Francisco. Here I found a European mentality of respect for the environment and traditional agriculture practices. After over ten years of culinary experience with French, Italian, and American influences, I have created Maison Porcella to showcase my exceptional charcuterie products for our esteemed clientele.”
