In other words, chocolate is a sure hit. So whether you're looking for a unique gift for a special occasion or just need something for your own sweet tooth, our range of chocolates will pamper your senses and awaken your gastronomic curiosity.

The origin of chocolate - where does chocolate come from?

The history of chocolate goes back to the ancient Mesoamerican civilizations, where cocoa beans were used as a valuable commodity and to make exclusive drinks for the nobles.

The cocoa tree, Theobroma cacao, originates from the tropical forests of Central and South America. From there, the cocoa beans spread to the rest of the world, where they became a popular delicacy in Europe in the 16th century. Today, cocoa is grown in West Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America, where the climate creates the best growing conditions for the cocoa trees

From cocoa bean to chocolate

The making of chocolate begins with the harvesting of the cocoa beans, which are fermented and dried to develop their unique flavor. The beans are then roasted, which intensifies the aroma. Finally, the cocoa bean is crushed into cocoa mass.

Cocoa mass is then mixed with sugar and milk to create milk chocolate, or kept pure for dark chocolate. After mixing, the mass goes through a process called conching, where it is kneaded and polished to a smooth consistency.

Finally, the chocolate is tempered, which gives it the characteristic shine and crack, before it is shaped and packed.
