It’s a misconception that you can’t go wrong with chocolate when it comes to buying someone a present. Why? Because there’s good chocolate and bad chocolate. Luckily, Läderach’s chocolate is very firmly in the ‘good’ variety. This is artisanal chocolate made in the foothills of the Glarus Alps, so whether you opt for pralines, truffles or Läderach’s famous ‘FrischSchoggi’ chocolate slabs, you’re guaranteed to choose something mouth-watering.
