Manage and save your personal detailsThe most exceptional chocolate is fresh chocolate. But how do we achieve this freshness and quality? We are guided by four basic principles which, when blended together, create the fresh chocolate we all love.
Freshness means fresh chocolate containing only the finest ingredients
We believe fresh chocolate should be made from the highest-quality natural and carefully-selected ingredients. That’s why we continuously monitor their quality and process them exclusively in Switzerland, combining artisanal skills that have been proven over generations with the latest technological processes – and consciously avoid the use of preservatives.
The people behind the ingredients
We cultivate long-term relationships with our partners and visit them – from the hazelnut groves of Piedmont to the lush green meadows of Switzerland. Discover what makes freshness.

Freshness means creating new chocolate every day
We take responsibility for our entire value chain – from bean to bar to you. It starts with the cocoa beans, continues with the freshly made couvertures we produce every day, and ends with the hand-refined creations you’ll find in our chocolateries. So fresh that their aroma fills the entire room.
Our chocolate’s journey
From its origins on cocoa farms in Africa and South America right through to the couvertures we make every day in Switzerland that form the basis of our creations.

Freshness means chocolate that’s delivered quickly and shared with joy
That’s why we produce chocolate exclusively for our own chocolateries, enabling us to respond swiftly to our customers’ wishes and launch new products quickly. Whichever of our 180 stores around the world we’re supplying, our creations always arrive in tip-top condition from Switzerland thanks to state-of-the-art cold-chain technology – week in, week out.
