Our Philosophy

Almost always, I am asked how I actually started making chocolate. I tell them that when I was a child, I read "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and I swore that one day, I would find a river of chocolate and sail in it. I also speak of Anna, my first love, who could not fall asleep without eating a piece of chocolate.

But the truth is, I always wanted to be a writer. One that gets up at noon, sits in cafes, writes until the following morning and devotes a book to an impossible, eternal love.

At the age of twenty, I thought that in order to get inspiration for my first novel, I needed to be alone. I needed to sit in a dark room with a candle, feel the longing, and write. I went to live and work in Paris with a French chef. He taught me how to make marzipan and nougat while telling me stories that are only passed on from teacher to pupil. I was lonely and did not write.

Later on, I searched for romance to find inspiration. I wanted to ride my bicycle to work, make colorful sweets in large jars, and write. I opened a chocolate workshop. People fell in love with my reality movie and I was living the magic of romance, yet was making so many sweets that I had no time to write.

Then I wanted to experience decadence to get real, raging inspiration, like the one described in the biographies of great writers. I wanted to wear Versace suits and tight pants, drink lots of wine, fall in love with the prettiest woman, and write. I designed and created a lifestyle of chocolate with its own saying, although most of the time, I was drunk and did not write.

More than ten years have passed since I started looking for inspiration for my writing and I still have yet to write. Recently, I bought a special feather pen and a thick, leather covered notebook. I will start writing a novel soon.

I've been making chocolate for more than 10 years. Almost without noticing it, I find myself telling its story. Maybe through the telling of its story, I can also express something about myself, something about the longings, the romance and the decadence.

I invite you to watch, smell, taste and feel my love story.
