Our Story
Meet the Taucherli Team
We’re chocolate makers, tinkerers, organizational talents and chocolate fanatics. Together, we turn fairly traded organic cocoa beans into pretty extraordinary chocolate just outside Zurich.
From a Garage to a Chocolate Manufactory
How it all began, why we steer clear of the chocolate elite, and why we never want to settle down.
The unique ones that stand out from the crowd.
Discover the world of bean-to-bar chocolate and find out what real craft chocolate is all about. Bean-to-bar means one thing to us: we make our chocolate ourselves, from A to Z. From the moment the cocoa beans arrive at our manufactory to the moment you bite into the finished bar. In between, we roast, crack, grind, experiment and, of course, taste again and again. Every step is in our hands, and that’s exactly what you taste in the end. From bean to bar. All Taucherli.
Do we care about the cocoa beans? You bet.
We know where they grow, we know the farmers who grow them, and we pay fair prices.
The farms we source our beans from use mixed-cropping systems. Instead of growing cocoa in monoculture plantations, the farmers cultivate it alongside other plants and trees, creating diverse ecosystems that work in harmony with nature. It takes more time and care, but it also helps produce exceptional cocoa beans.
Meet the farmers we trust!
