Founded in 1984, Quintessential Chocolates Co. Inc. introduced to the US confectionary market, a new product based on centuries old European process. We became the sole American producer of this fine chocolate confectionary process known as casting or Liqueur Praliné (liquid center chocolates). After apprenticing under a Swiss master Chocolatiér to learn this centuries old process, we added an American twist: flavors suited to the American palate, an unprecedented and original approach. We also believe, we were the first chocolatiér worldwide to create a liquid center filled with both a wide spectrum of wine varietals and with non-alcoholic liquid centers. Each batch of Quintessential Chocolates is handcrafted using our own variation of the Swiss technique of casting the liquid center. Spinning a fine sugar shell, only a few crystals thick, around the liquid center creates an edible moisture barrier that traps the unique characteristic of each essence, allowing for and preserving a thinner chocolate shell while creating a larger volume of liquid inside. The sugar shell enhances the flavor to such a degree that you are able to distinguish between two straight bourbons, knowing which one is handmade.
