“While I know of two chocolate bar and baking chocolate manufacturers that have been around longer in the U.S. than Louis Sherry, I believe that we are the oldest boxed chocolate brand. According to the Oxford Companion to Sugar and Sweets, Louis Sherry introduced the concept of chocolates as a luxury gift. In the early days of the Industrial Revolution when chocolate was first made in mass production, the quality suffered greatly, with other manufacturers using cheap Forastero cacoa beans and substituting vegetable fats for cocoa butter. Louis Sherry then, as today, only used ingredients of the highest quality and won the patronage of such people as J.P. Morgan and the Vanderbilt family. Louis Sherry’s dedication to quality endures today. Every single truffle we craft is entirely hand made.” -Tim Tippin, President, to Rebellious Magazine.
