Charlotte Truffles is a growing, award-winning chocolate shop based in Santa Clara. We make chocolate bonbons by hand and sell them to retailers, corporations, pop-up
events, and online.   I started this brand because I couldn’t find a shop that truly shared my story.  My childhood included living on several continents. From this experience, I fiercely understand the importance of diversity and inclusivity.  This is why the flavors I choose are rooted in classical cultural flavors found in desserts, drinks, and more. Our flavors spark intercultural and intergenerational conversations where people can learn about other cultures.

Our purpose is to infuse chocolates and sweet treats with classic cultural flavors to help reconnect their own heritage and discover a new world of flavors.
