chloe faure - food journalist

I’m Chloe. French-born, UK-based, and passionate about food and wine.

I grew up in the French countryside surrounded by farmers and winemakers, which started my love for good ingredients and the people who make them.
In the UK, I’ve worked across supply chain, range and marketing in food and wine retail for Fortnum & Mason, Fine Food Specialist & Forest Wines, while also writing about sustainable food systems, producers and natural wine in the press.
