Hand-scooped Chocolates
The Original.Available in 30 varieties, with or without alcohol.
Hand-scooped is a mixture of inventiveness and manual work. The Hand-scooped Chocolates are filled chocolates. The fillings are spread in layers on long tracks. During this process up to 6 different layers are combined and coated all around with chocolate. By combining different ingredients such as marzipan and cherry brandy, something new is created all the time - ideally a flavour explosion. Thanks to the wonderful compositions of taste and their unique design the Hand-scooped Chocolates have turned into a cult.
Hand-scooped Chocolates are created layer by layer.
Josef Zotter invented the Hand-scooped Chocolate, constructed in layers by hand. The word “scoop” also represents the innovation and creativity inherent in Handscooped Chocolate bars. A masterly combination of ingredients produces a wide variety of singularly original chocolates. Zotter's bean to bar chocolate, created in-house, is spread and rolled out very thinly on 15 meter long tracks while at the same time, assorted fine fillings and ganaches are prepared using over 400 organic ingredients. As soon as the chocolate has cooled down, it is topped with the filling. Before the next layer is applied it has to rest. Depending on the recipe, this process will be repeated several times. Sometimes roasted nuts, rum-soaked raisins or fruity chocolate flakes are scattered over the layers. Lastly, a thin chocolate coating is spread on top and then this gigantic piece of chocolate is cut into the classic 70g Zotter bars.
The filling will sit for another day or two until it is finally allowed to take a chocolate bath: it is covered top to bottom with chocolate to give it our characteristic chocolate coating and then travels to the cooling tunnel and from there straight to the wrapping station where Andreas H. Gratze’s beautiful drawings await to envelop each individual bar.
The chocolates of Zotter are a worldwide known under chocolate lovers. The carefully chosen ingredients join in a perfect melting point... This Austrian chocolate maker understands what it takes to make good chocolate! Zotter offers a large variety of products: chocolate bars, filled bars, drinking chocolate, praline bars and couverture, all friendly priced. The slightly eccentric packaging is not only pretty but also tells you the interesting story behind the bar, about tropical rainforests and unique cocoa varieties.

Perhaps it is because we have not been working in the chocolate business for so long (since 2014) that we work so passionately, accurately and in a personal way. In our team everyone brings his or her own expertise to the table. Organizing chocolate events, selling chocolate, writing articles, organizing tastings or master classes, judging at chocolate awards and much, much more. Our broad work and expertise leads to us always being on top of the latest trends. That is why we also know what your customers need, and how you can have a competitive advantage with the specialty chocolate that not many others sell.
