Vosges Haut-Chocolat

With pairings like Chinese star anise-fennel-absinthe, ginger-wasabi-sesame seed, and sweet Hungarian paprika, Vosges chocolates transport you across the world. With training in Paris at Le Cordon Bleu and legendary molecular gastronomy temple elBulli in Spain, founder Katrina Markoff took inspiration also from indigenous foods of Southeast Asia, India and Australia.

She set out to make chocolate without excess sugar or any artificial flavorings. An early creation, the curry-coconut truffle still stands out in her signature Exotic Collection today. Katrina was also the first brave soul to put bacon in a chocolate bar, launching a trend still being copied today. Her creativity is just one of the reasons she's on Fortune Magazine’s 40 Under 40 list and named one of the 10 Best Chocolatiers in the World by National Geographic. One taste of these convention defying creations from Vosges and you’ll know why!
