Chocolates are extremely popular all over the world. Decades ago, almost everyone ate mass-produced chocolates, but in recent years the trend has changed. Today, many people prefer artisanal chocolates. But how does artisanal chocolate differ from traditional chocolate?

There is a big difference in terms of raw materials

The essence of mass production is to produce as large a quantity as cheaply as possible. That is why, in the case of such products, manufacturers strive to obtain the raw material at the lowest possible price. In many cases, this involves a compromise regarding the quality of the cocoa beans, so you cannot expect the chocolates made in this way to be the most delicious. All of this is offset by lots of sugar and various flavors. 

On the other hand, for Hungarian artisanal chocolates, selected raw materials are sought, in many cases the cocoa beans are obtained from the place of cultivation. Of course, this important difference is also felt in the taste of chocolates, the essence of which is usually not the sweet component.

Artisan chocolates are made with great care

While the chocolates you can buy in department stores are made in huge quantities during automated processes, the situation is different for artisanal chocolates. They are prepared with great care, and they can focus better on the individual sub-processes.  The method of maturing, fermenting and roasting the chocolates is also emphasized more in the case of artisanal versions.

One of the charms of handmade products is that you don't have to think about industrial production, so you have time for precise work. The goal is to make the chocolates as high quality as possible. All bonbons, truffles and candied fruits are made with great care by hand, which is also reflected in the final result. Only perfect chocolates can be placed in the boxes.

For a special occasion, it is worthwhile to choose artisanal chocolate

Since the production of handicraft products requires more attention and more time, they are, by definition, more expensive. At the same time, if we want to surprise someone with a quality gift, then it is worth paying this price difference, since the recipient will surely appreciate that we spent more on the delicacy we bought for them than we would otherwise.

Although branded chocolates available in larger stores also have a pleasant taste, handmade chocolates are incomparably tastier than those made in mass production. Not to mention, they are even more elegant. Handcrafted chocolates are just as good a choice for Christmas, birthdays, name days or anniversaries as for a farewell party for a departing colleague. Of course, we can also give you a chocolate gift package for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day or Women's Day.

Artisan chocolate can also be a good choice for those with food sensitivities

In general, there are few chocolates available in stores that can be consumed by people with food sensitivities. In the case of artisanal chocolates, there is a much greater selection in this area, since artisanal sugar-free chocolate is a specialty, and we can choose from gluten-free, lactose-free or milk-free versions.

Eating artisanal chocolates is healthier

Since artisanal chocolates are made from excellent, carefully selected ingredients, there is no need to use artificial materials for their preparation. Typically, they contain neither flavor enhancers nor palm oil, and mostly no added sugar or other sweeteners, which are usually found in lower-quality sweets.

There is no shortage of handmade chocolates with special shapes and flavors

While in the case of mass-produced chocolates, they care less about their shape and packaging, artisanal chocolates are also visually more pleasing. In addition to the fact that they are basically more delicious, there are also quite a few that have a special taste.

There are quite interesting flavor pairings, such as a mixture of sweet and salty or sour and almond. Thanks to the special ingredients and unusual aromas, the consumption of such sweets can become truly memorable.

Ordering handmade chocolate is not complicated at all

Although our online store is not basically an artisanal chocolate webshop, we still offer several different artisanal sweets for purchase. The best handmade chocolates in our webshop can be ordered easily and quickly at affordable prices. You can even indicate a specific delivery day, and of course you can also request a greeting card with them.

In connection with the prices and delivery of artisanal chocolates, it is important to note that under all circumstances, we strive to ensure that the ordered candy arrives to the recipient in a suitable condition. That is why we ship with an ice battery in hot weather, for which we naturally do not charge extra costs. It is important to remember that chocolate gift packages should not be ordered in a vending machine, as they can easily melt in the heat

Gift packs that include handmade chocolates

The gourmet selection gift package, for example, contains a really tasty, handmade strawberry milk chocolate specialty. It is also worth taking a look at the Hungarian specialty gift package, which includes a handmade pistachio chocolate sprinkled with carefully prepared nuts and pieces of freeze-dried fruit.
