What motivated you to open a chocolate business? |
|
|
|
|
Chocolate has always been
a true passion of mine. After spending twenty-five years in the pastry
business, I decided to work with chocolate. I wanted to work with
an ingredient that people love, an ingredient that makes people happy. |

 |
Norman Love's chocolates,
made with fine Swiss white chocolate, are as tasty as they are jewel
box beautiful. We especially love the bright green apple chocolates
made with Granny Smith apple purée and a pinch of cinnamon. |

|
Did you have any formal training in chocolate making? |
|
|
|
|
Chocolate has always been
a huge part of my life as a pastry chef. I have attended numerous
chocolate making classes around the world, and also competed in countless
chocolate and pastry competitions. |

|
Where
do you get your inspiration for the different flavors and textures
you include in your chocolates? |
|
|
|
|
My travels around the world
as corporate pastry chef for the Ritz Carlton Hotel Company exposed
me to various ingredients from countries around the world. I believe
that people eat with their eyes. My inspiration is that ‘wow’
factor that people have when they see my creations. I prepare singular,
easily identified, fresh flavors. |

Artistry in chocolate. Pure,
quality, fresh ingredients, visually expressed. |

|
|
What
is your personal favorite out of all the products you make and why? |
|
|

Tahitian Vanilla Caramel for
its pure, simplistic flavor. For caramel lovers, it’s over the
top. |
