At Bittersweet Violet, we are committed to crafting exceptional confections using a range of ethically sourced chocolate and the finest quality ingredients. Whenever possible, we prioritize organic and local sourcing to create high-quality, limited-ingredient delights that blend the essence of tradition with a modern touch.

Our artisanal offerings include hand-painted bonbons, hand-dipped European-style chocolates, and nostalgic old-school confections. We exclusively use Couverture chocolate—a versatile medium known for its various shades, percentages, and fluidity. This exceptional chocolate serves as our canvas for creativity.

Cocoa butter is employed sparingly for painting molds, and we continuously explore natural methods for coloring our chocolates. Each creation is meticulously hand-painted, never airbrushed, ensuring that the pure essence of chocolate takes center stage.

All our creations are meticulously handcrafted without the use of machines or preservatives, a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

Our chocolates are crafted to order with utmost care. We don't resort to freezing batches for holidays or special occasions, as some chocolatiers might. This dedication to maintaining freshness is the reason our products have a shorter shelf life. We do this to guarantee that every bite you savor is at its peak of freshness and flavor, providing you with an exquisite and delectable experience.

These products may contain nuts, soy, milk, egg, and gluten.

Storage & Enjoyment

Storage:
Our handcrafted confections are at their finest when enjoyed fresh. Keep them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat—ideally between 65–70°F—to preserve their delicate textures and nuanced flavors.

Shelf Life:
Made with care and free from preservatives, each piece is meant to be savored. For the fullest experience, enjoy your chocolates within 4 to 8 weeks of delivery.

Refrigeration:
Refrigeration is not necessary, though it may help maintain freshness for certain pieces. If chilled, allow your chocolates to return to room temperature before indulging, so their flavors and textures may shine.

Allergens:
Our creations are crafted in a kitchen that handles dairy, nuts, soy, and wheat. Please consult the ingredient list or reach out to us for specific allergen information.
