Laderach Toronto

Laderach is a Swiss chocolatier with this mall flagship store selling their imported (but still super fresh) chocolate products.

They're especially known for their trademarked FrischSchoggi, which literally translates to fresh chocolate: basically a chocolate bark with different add-ins.

It's on display right at the front of the store, visible through large windows and available in 24 varieties.

FrischSchoggi is made by hand, shipped from Switzerland in a matter of days and sold in bulk or in pre-packaged assortments.

Types on offer include hazelnut, almond, cranberry, cornflakes, mixed fruit, orange-almond and raspberry-blackberry with bases of Swiss milk, dark or white chocolate. There's even a Grand Cru Brazil 70% variety made from cocoa beans from the Cabruca Cooperative in Brazil.

Large, roasted, caramelized Piedmont hazelnuts and whole roasted, caramelized Californian almonds are used, and the chocolate itself is silky smooth.

Chocolate is also available molded into seasonal shapes and hearts with written greetings.
