Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t like chocolate? Even people without a sweet tooth can’t resist the occasional bite, even if they insist otherwise.
Over the last couple of decades, the world of gourmet chocolate has exploded. Regardless of where you are in the world, tracking down some luxury chocolate has never been easier.
If you’re ready to splash the cash on some of the best confectionary available, these are the 7 best chocolate brands to hit up.

1. Richart

The French know how to make good chocolate, and French chocolatier Richart knows how to make it better than most. Since starting their business in 1925, the Richart family have won the Ruban Bleu (the most prestigious honor a confectioner can obtain) a record seven times.

2. Patchi

Lebanese chocolate company Patchi was founded in the 1970s, and today enjoys a reputation as one of the best luxury chocolate brands in the world.
The prices might be high, but so are the quality of the ingredients. The Patchi ‘Chocolate Menu’ contains over 50 different varieties to try, many of which incorporate ingredients such as roasted nuts, Gianduja, orange peel, and dried strawberries. There’s also an enticing selection of more exotic flavors such as Cotton Candy, Cheesecake, and Peanut Butter for the more adventurous to try.

3. Valrhona

Chocolates don’t get much more luxurious than those that come out of French brand Valrhona’s kitchen in the Rhone Valley. Beans are meticulously sourced from plantations in the Caribbean and South America before being blended to create a unique flavor profile.
The selection is wide enough to offer an excellent choice (the Valrhona Equinoxe Noir and Valrhona Grands Crus assorted chocolate ganache are two of the must-tries) and although the prices are high in comparison to everyday brands like Dove or Hershey, they’re actually very reasonable in comparison to most luxury brands.

4. Teuscher

70 years ago, Dolf Teuscher established his namesake chocolatier in a small town in the Swiss Alps. Determined to make the finest chocolates in the country, he hunted down the very best ingredients he could find, using them to practice and perfect the recipes that now serve as the foundation for the 100 plus varieties of chocolates made each day in the Teuscher kitchens.
