From the Mediterranean, With Love: The Roots Behind Our Most Unique Creations

At Chocolate Counter, every piece of chocolate we craft carries a story — and many of those stories begin along the sun-drenched coasts and vibrant markets of the Mediterranean. Our confections are more than sweets; they’re expressions of a rich cultural heritage, reimagined for the modern palate.

A Legacy of Flavor

Mediterranean cuisine is known for its balance, its beauty, and its deep respect for ingredients — and that philosophy is at the heart of everything we do. From the Levantine coast to the heart of North Africa, the Mediterranean is a region that celebrates texture, aroma, and natural indulgence. We honor that legacy in our ingredients, our techniques, and our spirit.

Signature Mediterranean-Inspired Creations

Here are a few of the offerings that reflect our roots — each one handcrafted with a nod to tradition and an eye for elegance:

• Kenefe Chocolate

  Inspired by the beloved Middle Eastern dessert Knafeh, this creation features crunchy kataifi-style layers enveloped in silky chocolate. It’s warm, familiar, and completely unexpected.

• Basma Bites

  Our refined take on a Mediterranean pastry favorite — rich in pistachios, aromatic with orange blossom or rose, and perfectly balanced with smooth chocolate. A taste of tradition in every bite.

• Bouza Ashta Truffle

  Evoking the creamy, floral ice cream of the Levant, this confection blends subtle sweetness with velvety texture and whispers of mastic and orchid root. Ethereal. Elegant. Endlessly nostalgic.

These aren’t just chocolates — they’re memories, wrapped in gold.

Why It Matters

Our Mediterranean roots are more than flavor profiles — they represent our respect for slowness, craftsmanship, and warmth. Every Chocolate Counter creation is made in small batches with premium, non-GMO ingredients and no alcohol or pork derivatives, so you can share our heritage with confidence and care.

In a world that moves quickly, our chocolates invite you to pause, savor, and connect — just as families have done around Mediterranean tables for centuries.
