Who We Are

We Are Swiss Chocolate

We Are Carma®

Throughout the years, we built our expertise on understanding and selecting the finest and sustainable ingredients from around the world to create extremely balanced blends of Swiss dairy and cocoa. We select the purest milk and grind cocoa in-house in small batches. We learned to master the Swiss conching tradition for each of our couverture recipes. And in everything we do, we cherish what our homeland stands for. 

Extreme precision, attention to detail and pride of our Swiss ingredients. With one goal: support the ambitions of artisans and chefs to create memorable moments with the smooth taste of Swiss chocolate.
