OUR BACKGROUND

Amsterdam-based Lait De Choco was founded in 2020, introducing the Netherlands’ pioneering plant-based chocolaterie in 2023. With a blend of craftsmanship and innovation, we create chocolates that honor tradition while embracing the future.

Our signature oval chocolates, known as “chocolate love bombs,” are handcrafted in small batches using ethically sourced cacao and the finest ingredients. Aiming to make gift-giving effortless and indulgence last beyond the moment, we craft confections that are more than just a treat—they’re an experience.

Founders Note

Lait De Choco was born from Amalia Taleï’s deep love for both the senses and storytelling. Growing up, she always found herself drawn to the kitchen, eager to create and experiment. A vivid memory she has is climbing onto the kitchen counter to eat hazelnut chocolate spread by the spoonful as a child—nothing much has changed, except now she makes it from scratch to nourish the soul. And yes, the N-1 remains her favorite.

Amalia’s Iranian heritage plays a vital role in the flavours she creates, as she strives to share bits and pieces of history, culture, and emotion through the chocolates we eat and share.

OUR NAME

Lait De Choco (leh deh choh-koh) takes its inspiration from Lait De Coco, the French for coconut milk. While not a direct translation of "chocolate milk," it reflects a quiet defiance of convention—a celebration of creativity that reimagines the familiar.
