WHERE TO BUY

Zurich has world-class chocolatiers a plenty. Here are three sure to satisfy every sweet-toothed traveller Chocolat Dieter Meier

Dieter Meier’s revolutionary Oro de Cacao chocolate is made using a unique, patented cold-extraction technique developed at Zurich University of Applied Sciences. Gently processing the beans at lower temperatures better preserves their complex natural aromas, resulting in a fruitier, more flavourful chocolate — including dark chocolate that isn’t bitter. chocolatdietermeier.ch

First created by master chocolate-maker Dolf Teuscher in a Swiss Alpine town in the 1930s, these globally popular confections are still made to their original recipes, using only the finest ingredients. teuscher-zurich.ch
