OUR BACKGROUND

Founded in 2020, Amsterdam-based Lait De Choco opened Holland’s first plant-based chocolaterie late 2023. With a mission to infuse emotion and cultural heritage into every creation, Lait De Choco crafts indulgent, healing oval delights—fondly dubbed “chocolate love bombs”—that redefine the traditional bonbon experience.

Dedicated to sustainability, the brand champions ethical cacao farming practices and sources only the finest ingredients. By staying true to its ethos of small-batch, handcrafted production, Lait De Choco blends artistry, quality and purpose into every bite.

Founders Note

Inspired by her cultural heritage as a first-generation Dutch chef with Iranian roots and her profound passion as a herbalist, Amalia Taleï founded Lait De Choco in the heart of her small Amsterdam kitchen. There, she began handcrafting plant-based bonbons infused with flavors designed to evoke vivid memories of distant places, cherished moments and timeless emotions. Her creations quickly captured the hearts of chocolate enthusiasts around the world.

Rooted in resilience and shaped by the challenges of her own upbringing, Taleï’s passion project blossomed into a thriving business that embodies her soul and commitment to bringing joy through her gift-worthy chocolates. With a dedication to ethical practices, Lait De Choco prioritizes the well-being of farmworkers across its supply chain, staying true to Taleï’s vision of spreading goodness at every step—choosing to grow intentionally and sustainably in a fast-paced world.

Taleï continues to lead with creativity and vision. She remains at the forefront of product innovation, imagery and art direction, ensuring Lait De Choco’s creations consistently push the boundaries of artistry and flavor.

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.
