(Burlington, VT) Lake Champlain Chocolates (LCC), a gourmet Vermont chocolate maker, has introduced the Small World Chocolates line including Truffles, Chocolates, and Sensations. Appealing to the growing number of chocolate connoisseurs in America, the new line focuses on select-origin, high-cocoa-content chocolates and exotic flavors from around the world. Made in small batches from the finest all-natural ingredients, Lake Champlain Chocolates are carefully crafted by chocolatiers who are fanatical about creating chocolates with the honest individuality, charm, quality, and freshness which are synonymous with the spirit of Vermont.
“Today’s chocolate customer expects more – not only do they want more dark chocolates, they want to know the cocoa content and what part of the world the beans come from,” explained Jim Lampman, president of LCC. “Small World Chocolates answer all these questions, and maintain our other chocolate-making traditions – all-natural, artisanal, Kosher.”
Small World Truffles feature exceptional chocolate, bold flavors, and distinct textures in bite-size confections with smooth, creamy centers. New taste discoveries include Mango, Molé (cayenne & lime), Chai (cinnamon & cardamom), Pistachio, and Lemon-Ginger – each a small world of flavor all its own. Available in bulk and 15- & 4-piece all-occasion gift boxes.
Small World Chocolates rediscover why chocolate is the world’s most coveted indulgence. The finest select-origin, high-cocoa-content chocolates – including Sao Thome (70% cocoa content), Grenada (60%), and Venezuelan (60%) – in delectably thin squares, prove that not all chocolate is created equal. Available in bulk and a 24-piece all-occasion gift box.
Small World Sensations™ are sachet-wrapped chocolate confections in Cherry and 3-Nut flavors. Cherry Sensations combine fruity South American dark chocolate with sour North American cherry ganache. 3-Nut harvests flavors from three continents – almonds & pistachios from North America, cashews from South America, and milk chocolate from Africa. Available in countertop dispensers and a 12-piece all-occasion gift box.
To support the launch of the new brand, LCC will provide an introductory sampling allowance to retailers who feature the entire line. Merchandising, staff training, and product promotion are supported by a national network of salespeople and brokers servicing over 1,200 specialty retailers.
