I discovered my love for chocolate in 2016, after moving from Germany to Seattle. In Germany I used to work as a Chemical Engineer for paints. During a Chocolate Factory Tour I realized that chocolate and paint coatings are made with very similar machines, that blew me away! That experience was the first time I thought about working in chocolate. A couple of weeks later I stumbled into my first job as a chocolate maker. I learned how to make chocolate from the cacao bean, created fun and interesting truffle combinations and met many inspirational people in the process. After 2 years and a lot of work later, I decided to start my own chocolate company and that is how ChocolateSpiel began.
