Vosges Haut-Chocolat
Vosges Haut-Chocolat creations are made with the finest ingredients from around the world, sourced by Owner and Chocolatier Katrina Markoff. Three days following graduation from Vanderbilt University Katrina headed to Paris to pursue her dream of studying the culinary arts at Le Cordon Bleu. Then, using her palate as her guide, she embarked on a world tour that commenced with an apprenticeship in Spain under the direction of Ferran Adria and continued eastbound through nine countries. The purple house of Vosges Haut-Chocolat and the concept of Travel the World through Chocolate were inspired by her travels, and seeks to create a sustainable luxury chocolate experience while bringing about awareness of the world’s cultures by fusing a gamut of indigenous spices, flowers, roots, herbs and liqueurs with premium chocolate.
Katrina is the recipient of numerous accolades, including the Bon Appetit Food Artisan of the Year Award and was selected as one of the top 35 Culinary Artists by Food & Wine Magazine. Katrina is constantly working to improve and expand her mission of bringing peace to the world through chocolate, and her latest undertaking— the building of a platinum LEED certified green manufacturing facility— is evidence of both her global awareness and dedication to her ever-evolving brand. *Vosges Haut-Chocolat is Certified WBE and operates on 100% renewable energy
