This small chocolate producer comes from the Val-de-Travers region in northwestern Switzerland. Since absinthe famously originates from this region, some of their chocolate feature this historically controversial flavor.

Their fairly new boutique in the center of Zurich sells a delightful array of pralines, chocolate truffles, chocolate bars, and a delicious Nutella-like chocolate spread. One of their signature pieces is a nail-shaped chocolate, which is a nod to the most prominent industry of their home city.

Location: Münsterhof 4, 8001 Zürich
Open: Mon-Fri 10:00-18:30 / Sat 10:00-18:00 / closed Sundays
