If you haven’t heard about Zotter chocolate yet you will soon.
The zany Austrian chocolatier is taking the chocolate world by storm with his imaginative flavours. Thankfully they are organic, fairtrade and gluten free; and some of them are vegan, though some of them are definitely not!
Josef Zotter designs unusual chocolate bars with mind altering flavour combinations such as balsamic caramel or lime and honey, or pumpkin caramel or sheep’s milk with honey nuts. Chocolate devotees are calling him a genius, and the wrapper designs are as funky as the confectionery within.
His chocolates have certainly developed a cult-like following, with 30 new chocolate new ideas each year. In fact his bestselling hand scooped chocolate formula is offering a totally new experience of chocolate. The chocolate is made up of specific layers with varied types of chocolate and fillings so that each layer can melt in your mouth at different stages.
Zotter is also unique in that he personally looks after the creation of his chocolate from “bean to bar”. He knows that different cocoa beans bring different flavours and uses this to his advantage, and it also helps him maintain his emphasis on fairtrade and environmental responsibility.
