These handcrafted chocolate bars will convince you that chocolatiers have not forgotten their art. Only the purest ingredients and finest grade cocoa find their way into these petite works of art. You won’t want to tear the wrapping, the paintings on the wrappers are as delicious as the chocolate.

(from FOODS FROM SPAIN news)
What ‘haute chocolate’ is to Paris, as Jeffrey Steingarten famously summed it up, so designer chocolate is to Barcelona. Imagine how the city’s famous native son, architect Antoni Gaudi, might have applied his Modernist ideas to chocolate- and you begin to get the picture. It was back in 1900 that Antoni Amatller, owner of Catalonia’s oldest chocolate company- founded in 1798- commissioned Czech artist Alphonse Mucha to design a sensual box for his chocolate coated almonds. This began a happy tradition by which Amatller used Art Nouveau to brighten up its chocolates and turn them into ready-wrapped gifts.

By Helena: You can almost never find the white chocolate bars for sale any more. It's so sad because they are my favorite. I'm glad I found just the place to get these. Thank you for carrying this type of chocolate.
