Meet the family behind Prova

The company was founded by Jacqueline and Marcel Acat and their partner Hugo Oller, who based their invention on a patent for the extraction of oil-soluble vanilla in Montreuil, Paris. Daniel Acat, Jacqueline and Marcel Acat’s son, joined the business in 1963, innovating and growing the brand in France and abroad. Employing over 300 people, Prova is now run by Muriel Acat, Daniel’s daughter, who gained Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) certification in 2022.

Flavour fanatics

Prova Gourmet’s flavour experts have created a complete range of vanilla flavours - each with its own unique taste signature. Their ready-to-use vanilla beans, pastes, extracts and powders provide quality, consistency and ease of use for busy chefs. Prova Gourmet’s coffee unique extracts are made by taking the best selection of beans and extracting their very essence at the factory in the Loiret region of France.
