And we know each of our partners by name and by heart. That is what makes our chocolate fresh. Switzerland We are proud to produce exclusively in Switzerland. So that we may guarantee the highest quality. We love our Swiss culture and Swiss traditions. They have always inspired us in our work. Our roots are the base for our innovations. The Swiss Alps are our home. But the world is our guest. Craftmanship We are masters of our craft. We strive for perfection every day. The common passion for chocolate unites us. We still make many of our products by hand. For something to be beautiful, it must be unique. We believe in the authentic craft. And we continue the tradition of the Chocolatiers.
