Daniela's
Story
Origin of Daniela's Chocolate
Have you heard the expression "Made With Love"? Daniela applies this philosophy to both life and work. Born and raised in Zurich, Switzerlad Daniela nurtured a passion and love for crafting flavorful sweet masterpieces with chocolate after attending pastry school in Zurich. It was also love that drew Daniela away from her home in Switzerland to start a family in the mountains of Colorado which also became the perfect place to start her chocolate company. Since 2009, Daniela has been crafting a wide variety of chocolates and sweets including truffles, toffee, caramels, roasted nuts, and much more.
​
Her fans extend far beyond the Yampa Valley: For years, Daniela made chocolates for Jay Leno. Her treats were enjoyed in the green room by guests of The Tonight Show.
