Chocolatia

Description

Chocolatia creates award winning chocolates, made with ethical, sustainable chocolate and fresh local ingredients. The business was founded in 2020 by local chocolatier Chloe Oswald.

Anyone who knows Chloe will tell you that chocolate is her world. It’s no coincidence that all the letters of her name, Chloe, appear in the word chocolate; they are kindred spirits. Both of her grandmothers taught her all the basics of baking and, often when she is developing a new creation or recipe, she thinks back to the days they would spend in the kitchen, cooking and laughing.

Chloe founded Chocolatia as a way of expressing her personality through her work. After refining her pastry skills for several years, under the expert eye of the chefs in the two Michelin-starred restaurant Andrew Fairlie and at Gleneagles, she felt ready to take the plunge. With the support of her friends, family, colleagues and suppliers she finally found the confidence and courage to set up on her own.

From those early memories in her grandmother’s kitchen, and her days studying professional Patisserie at City of Glasgow College, to her life-changing opportunity at Gleneagles – where she’s had the privilege of representing the UK in global culinary competitions, creating bespoke chocolate room gifts, and built show stopping chocolate sculptures for events like the Solheim Cup – Chloe is delighted to introduce people to her very own brand, Chocolatia, which is one part passion, one part knowledge, two parts hard work, all mixed together with a generous dollop of love.

At Chocolatia, Chloe makes her chocolates using only the finest ingredients, including Valrhona chocolate which is renowned for its high quality and outstanding flavours. She is also deeply proud of her Scottish heritage, and enjoys showcasing the wonder of Scotland’s natural larder in her creations, from fresh Perthshire berries to her favourite botanicals such as elderflower which grows in abundance in Angus and it’s surrounding areas.

All Chloe’s chocolates are designed to be absolutely devoured, either with a cup of tea, a dram of whisky, a glass of champagne, or shared with someone special over a kiss and a cuddle, and she hopes they sweeten your day!
