​Idilio Origins​

«Idilio» stands for harmony with nature, the diversity of a mixed cultivation of tropical plants and fruits, the devoted care and harvesting of finest cocoa beans, their careful fermentation and sun-drying by small-scale enterprises. The Spanish word “idilio” signifies a short poem celebrating the romance of living at one with nature, a sweet experience, a small treasure.

«Origins» refers to the company philosophy of concentrating on selected single-origin and superior cocoa varieties, of working directly with the local producers and personally taking charge of the demanding transport of the cocoa beans from their place of origin to the Swiss chocolate production facilities.

Swiss chocolate owes its typical melt-in-the-mouth character to the worldwide exclusive technology of finish rolling and conching. For our Criollo cocoas, we employ the traditional “long” conche, which no modern stirring method can match when it comes to gently unfolding the exquisite flavours of the superior cocoa varieties.
