About Pierre's Chocolates
Making superior chocolates requires the same skill and effort that goes into creating any other fine handcrafted product and acquiring those skills is much the same as it is in most trades. Expertise passed down from one generation to the next, apprenticeships with master craftsmen and schooling are all integral parts of gaining a mastery in one's chosen field.
Pierre began training in his chosen field, the Swiss way of chocolate making, in his home town of Zug, Switzerland under the tutelage of his father, Leo.  He then apprenticed with a famous Konditorei in the northern town of Schaffhausen on the Rhein River while attending classes in the Gewerbe Schule. At the end of his three year apprenticeship he took an exam overseen by the Swiss Confectionary Association and finished first out of 150 students. Pierre then worked in his father's establishment, Konditorei Soldanella, in Zug. He then brought his workmanship to the United States and together with his wife, Jinny and the help of their three daughters, Nicole, Aimee and Chantal, established Pierre's Chocolates in historic New Hope, Pennsylvania. The combination of Pierre's skills, along with Jinny's distinctive creativity helped create a truly unique experience to which people travel from all over.
