No, the Max Chocolatier Event and Design Studio is not a point of sale for the products. However, online orders can be picked up.
The Max Chocolatier Event and Design Studio is the home of the studio, the office team and a large event location. In the Event and Design Studio all Max Chocolatier products are designed, manufactured and packaged. In addition, most workshops take place in the Event and Design Studio. However, the Event and Design Studio is not a sales location for the products.
The boutique is the point of sale for our products.
Max Chocolatier was founded in 2009 and the first boutique opened in Lucerne. The second boutique in Zurich followed in 2011.
We do not use any artificial preservatives or colourings. The only E-numbers you will find on our product descriptions are soya lecithin and citric acid. Both are naturally occurring additives. Soya lecithin is used as an emulsifier to stabilise various Felchlin chocolate products. Our food-grade colours consist of purely natural additives. Our products are preserved by increasing the PH value. We achieve this by using natural preservatives made from citric acid and various types of sugar such as glucose syrup (wheat starch), invert sugar, sucrose and honey.
We source as many seasonal ingredients as possible from Switzerland. But even more important to us than regionality is the quality of the products. For great quality, we use the best ingredients from all over the world.
We currently have 16 family members: four in the boutique, four in chocolate production, two in packaging, six in the office, plus Max and Max's father, Patrik König.
All our creations are created by hand in our Max Chocolatier design studio in Lucerne by four chocolatiers.
We have a boutique in the heart of Lucerne at Hertensteinstrasse 7 and one in Zurich at Schlüsselgasse 12, but our products can also be ordered worldwide in our online shop.
Due to the high temperature in summer, we only ship our products with special insulation bags and cooling elements. The normal shipping method is not available because the risk of melting the precious products is too great. However, the products can still be picked up free of charge in our boutiques.
