A family heritage since 1904
Maison Ratti · Opal Coast · Heritage since 1904
A family house, shaped by transmission, precision and a taste for memory.
Every Maison Ratti confection is born of the same thread: chosen ingredients, sugar cooked with patience, a carefully sealed pouch. A craft inherited from the workshops of 1904, turned today towards taste.

Maison Ratti continues a family story born around confectionery machines, and today turns towards confections understated, precise and memorable.
Maison Ratti, fourth generation
The founders
In 2025, two paths lay before us: let a family craft fade away, or take it on in our own way. We chose to keep alive what has driven our family for over 120 years, and to give sweets a place worthy of them once more.
The elder of the two brothers. With Tom, Arthur carries the family craft from end to end: the recipes, the making, looking after private customers and professionals alike. No decision is taken alone.
The younger of the two brothers. With Arthur, Tom carries that same family craft, from choosing a flavour to the batch shaped for a single order. Two views on one trade, one shared standard.

Fourth generationThe making
From the selection of ingredients to dispatch, six steps carry each confection with the same care.
Sugars, dried fruits and natural flavourings are sourced with care, from trusted suppliers.
Weighing and measuring are prepared to the recipe, format by format, to guarantee consistency.
The sugar is cooked at a controlled temperature, then poured, pulled or coated depending on the range.
Appearance, size and seal are checked before each batch is approved.
Each sweet is slipped into the signature pouch, with care for the small formats.
Orders are prepared and shipped in protective packaging, from our workshops.

No artificial colour, ever.
Nothing but the useful, nothing superfluous.
Gluten free, for every treat.
Lactose free, light and clean.
