Grand Cru
Only the finest cocoa beans, many years of experience and passionate craftsmanship can create the refined couverture from Felchlin. Each bean harvested from the provinces of the different countries of origin possesses unique, specific and intense flavours that are fully unfolded in the traditional Swiss processing.
discoverSustainability
For more than 20 years now our aim has been to ensure the sustainability of the raw materials that we process with self-imposed guidelines that exceed the current Fairtrade standards. We procure raw materials of the highest quality which are complex in taste and full of flavour. Transparency, fair conditions and working in harmony with nature are very important to us.
discoverSWISS QUALITY
We rely on long-term, transparent and fair partnerships with cocoa farmers in the countries of origin, and set great store by careful processing of the cocoa beans using traditional craftsmanship, proven principles and sound specialist knowledge. We use the best ingredients from Central Switzerland and offer attractive jobs for around 190 employees, whose knowledge and skills we promote individually and with an eye to the future. All these aspects epitomise the highest Swiss quality as it is interpreted and embraced here at Felchlin.
