Chocolate Gone Green

In honor of a new favorite female holiday, International Chocolate Day, it seems only right to share the scoop on a top notch chocolatier that originates from my hometown of Chicago. Katrina Markoff not only uses the most unique and exotic ingredients in her Haut Chocolat creations, but she also has a die hard dedication to green manufacturing processes. The chocolate at Vosges boutiques is produced using 100% renewable energy, packaged with sustainable materials, and the production processes have been certified in accordance with organic manufacturing guidelines.

Inspired by Katrina's global experiences, Vosges chocolates have exotic influences of an "East meets West" theme. Her infusions of rare spices and flowers combined with premium chocolate give a delicate balance of flavor, and a true haut-chocolat experience.
