UPR is the production unit of the Renée family group, a Guadeloupean sandwich and pastry brand founded in 1963. 

The company carries forward a local culinary heritage built around iconic recipes, while developing new formats suited to modern distribution channels. Its flagship product, Chocolat Renée, is rooted in a recipe that has been served for many years across Renée's establishments in Guadeloupe. Now available in long-life Tetra Pak format, it is manufactured in mainland France with a recognised industrial partner, while preserving the authentic Creole taste of the original recipe. 

Our ambition is to bring this product to the Caribbean market — particularly Trinidad and Tobago — through local distribution and foodservice partners such as cafés, coffee shops and patisseries.

During the tasting session, we will be presenting Chocolat Renée, a premium ready-to-drink chocolate beverage available in 1L and 50cl formats. It is a rich, indulgent milk-based chocolate drink made with cocoa, sweetened condensed milk and Caribbean spices — including cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and citrus zest. The product can be enjoyed hot, cold, iced or blended as a frappé or frozen drink, making it particularly well suited to the Caribbean climate and to café, foodservice and retail settings.

Its key differentiator lies in its authentic taste — inspired by a traditional Guadeloupean family recipe — with a generous texture and a strong cultural identity. The long-life format simplifies distribution, with no cold chain required before opening.

The innovation is in the transformation of a beloved artisanal recipe into a ready-to-consume, premium, exportable product adapted to international markets. Our participation in TIC 2025 reflects the growing appetite for this Renée-style "cocoa tea" beyond the island.
