The Birth of Svizzle

Long before the first bar of Svizzle was packed, there was a spark—a deep, abiding love for the Swiss art of chocolate making that set Antony Panakal on an extraordinary journey. For over thirty years, Antony has lived and breathed chocolate, beginning in the heart of Switzerland, where he was captivated by the intoxicating aroma of roasting cocoa beans and the magic of transforming them into silky, exquisite creations.

Antony’s path was never just about perfecting flavor; it was about honoring tradition while forging a new, more responsible future. As he traveled the world, trading and learning from every corner of the chocolate industry, he saw both the beauty and the challenges—especially those faced by cocoa farmers. These experiences ignited a powerful vision: to create chocolate that not only tastes sublime but also makes a meaningful difference.

That vision became Svizzle—a brand built on Swiss heritage, but driven by a modern commitment to ethical sourcing, fair trade, and environmental stewardship. Every bar of Svizzle is a testament to Antony’s relentless pursuit of excellence, his compassion, and his belief that true luxury is crafted with both passion and purpose.

Albert Lauber

Every Svizzle chocolate product is curated under the expert guidance of Mr. Albert Lauber, a legendary Swiss chocolatier whose more than 50 years of experience embody the very soul of Switzerland’s chocolate-making tradition. Albert’s deep roots in this proud heritage infuse every Svizzle creation with unmatched craftsmanship, timeless techniques, and meticulous precision.

Over his illustrious career, Albert has been a guardian of the standards that define true Swiss chocolate—selecting only the finest ingredients, perfecting every process, and maintaining an unwavering commitment to quality.

Our Process

Swiss chocolates are celebrated worldwide for its unmatched quality, a reputation built on a foundation of tradition, innovation, and meticulous craftsmanship. Here’s what sets us apart:

High-Quality Ingredients

Swiss chocolatiers insist on using only the finest cocoa beans, pure cane sugar, and fresh, high-quality milk sourced from Swiss cows. This dedication to premium ingredients ensures a superior taste and velvety texture in every bite.

Precision Mixing and Refining

Every batch begins with carefully weighed and blended raw materials, which are then refined to an extraordinary fineness of 14–16 microns. This ultra-smooth consistency is a hallmark of Swiss chocolate.

Meticulous Tempering

Swiss chocolate makers master the art of tempering—precisely controlling temperature to achieve a glossy finish and a satisfyingly crisp snap. This process ensures both visual appeal and an irresistible mouthfeel.

The Conching Process

Pioneered by Swiss chocolatier Rodolphe Lindt in 1879, conching is a transformative process where chocolate is continuously mixed and aerated at controlled temperatures. This step smooths the texture, enhances the flavor, and mellows any bitterness, resulting in chocolate that is both rich and harmonious.

Tradition Meets Innovation

While deeply rooted in time-honored methods, Swiss chocolate producers never stop innovating. They experiment with unique flavors, inventive fillings, and sustainable practices, keeping Swiss chocolate at the forefront of global trends.

Alpine Milk Advantage

The use of fresh, high-quality Swiss milk imparts a creamy, luxurious texture that defines Swiss milk chocolate and sets it apart from the rest.

Master Craftsmanship

Swiss chocolatiers are true artisans, blending generations-old techniques with state-of-the-art technology to uphold the highest standards of quality.

Elegant Packaging

Swiss chocolate packaging is more than just beautiful—it’s purposeful. Each wrapper not only reflects the artistry and care behind the chocolate but also clearly communicates the brand’s commitments. Packaging accurately states quality standards, ethical sourcing certifications, and climate-positive practices, ensuring transparency for the conscious consumer. For those seeking plant-based options, vegan certifications are also prominently displayed, making it easy to choose chocolate that aligns with your values.
