The Details About The Teuscher Company






by Anna Gentry


In 1932, a man named Adolf founded a company called Teuscher. The company, which has since been taken over my family members, is a Switzerland-based chocolatier. Thought it was created in Zurich, it has branched out to include many stores around the word, including several stores in the United States.

Using a confectioner and a patissier, the business makes a large array of sweets, some with chocolate and some without. They are well-known for their champagne truffles that use expensive champagne, cocoa powder, dark cream ganache, buttercream, sugar, and milk or dark chocolate.

The company makes more than truffles. Their product list includes items such as pralines, marzipan, chocolate bars, and numerous other sweets. In fact, they are known for more than chocolates. The chocolatier also produces cookies and pastries. They are also known for making the cookies of Basel, a city that rivals Zurich. The cookies, which taste like gingerbread, are called Basler Leckerli.

The chocolatier is special in that it only uses the best natural ingredients available in their recipes. Most of their ingredients are shipped in from other parts of the world. For instance, their ginger comes from Asia and their chili is from California. They also utilize a special type of cacao for base chocolates. The dark chocolates are praised for their smooth taste. Not many other brands are considered competition for the Swiss chocolatier.

Popular food critics, including a couple from New York, credit them as being the best all-around chocolatier. On a regular basis, the popular champagne truffles are shipped from Switzerland to their many stores around the world. Because of their quality, the sweets are considered gourmet and are therefore more expensive than traditional sweets. Though to many people, the price is worth it.

The Zurich-based chocolatier Teuscher has been around for near a century. It began in 1932 by a man named Adolf. He passed the business on to his family members and over time it has evolved into a popular business. Champagne truffles are a popular company product, but the Swiss chocolatier has more to offer than chocolate. They also sell cookies, pastries and similar desserts. teuscher
