The clean air, pure soil, and lush expanses of untouched nature have created the ideal conditions for it.

A lawyer + a banker = chocolate? Not the first thing that comes to mind, to be sure, but that’s still what happened when Kristi and her husband Youssef decided to take a leap of faith, leave their careers and follow their dream. Armed with their passion, their will and the inspiration nature gives them they create the tastebud-inspiring Chocolala that lets you taste the forest, fruits and flowers in every bite. Just think about chocolate infused with caramelised birch sap, spring’s first spruce sprouts, dewy blueberries and black currants… These are the ingredients Chocolala is made of.
