Feature Friday – Chocolatasm
About Chocolatasm:
I’m a Dutch chocolatier living in The North Georgia mountain town of Blue Ridge.
My grandmother was a pastry chef , I followed in her footsteps becoming student of the year during a three year pastry, bakery, confectionery , cake design , chocolaterie training in London UK.
I paid my dues in a busy pastry department of a large chain, in a private club, in a gastro pub and as restaurant (pastry) chef. Before joining the team at Puccini Bomboni in Amsterdam. Here I fully embraced the world of quality chocolate.
After 7 years at this upscale chocolate house I left the Netherlands and by way of the Mediterranean where I cooked privately , via the former Caribbean estate of Diana Ross on French Saint Martin I met my now spouse and we relocated to our home in Blue Ridge. That’s when Chocolatasm was born , I realized I was my own best boss and grew this small one man endeavor from the ground up. I produce hand made artisan chocolates for retail online and wholesale nationwide.
I produce a line of handmade chocolates , filled bonbons , infused chocolate pieces and bars using only natural , organic and where possible locally sourced ingredients. Learn more here.
About your branding and products:
My concept is one of simplicity. Less is more , I like a clean product to have a clean minimalistic image. The boxes you created for me are a great example of that. Someone described it as “straightforward packaging” and that is exactly the feel I want to share. My chocolate is straightforward , it looks like chocolate not a Jackson Pollock painting and it tastes like chocolate first, the other flavors are accents, as in the chocolate bar box : it’s a box , white, with a accent of color.

How did you find out about CustomKraftBox.com?
A friend in the business told me about you .
What did you like most about using CustomKraftBox.com ?
I Like the personal touch , the “real people” feel of the company and the fact that anything is possible. The low minimum order is extremely attractive to a small scale business such as mine. Sometimes you gotta earn to be able to grow but limited resources prevent that growth being achieved in a professional looking way . Customkraftbox.com makes a slick professional look possible for the small business owner.
