The Teuscher Story
More than 80 years ago in a small town in the Swiss Alps, a master chocolate maker embarked on a path that would make him one of the world’s greatest chocolatiers. Dolf Teuscher searched throughout the world to locate the finest cocoa, marzipan, fruits, nuts, and other ingredients, and, after years of experimenting, skillfully blended them into our now famous recipes.
From humble origins, our kitchens in Zürich today make more than a hundred varieties of chocolates using these original recipes that have passed from father to son.
