I love Socola Chocolatier, an award winning woman-owned chocolate company that creates chocolates inspired by the diverse flavors of Vietnam. They have the most unique flavors.
Socola was co-founded by Wendy Lieu and her sister, Susan Lieu. Wendy always had a passion for chocolate and was dreaming up (and cooking up) her own truffle recipes when she was a teenager. Susan is a perfect counterpart to Wendy, because her talent and acumen was in business and marketing. Susan was always finding and creating ways for more and more people to learn about and experience Socola!
Today, Socola is a vibrant business with an amazing team of staff members who work together to create the most stunning chocolates.
You can order on-line, at their store, or pick up a box at SFO.
In Vietnamese culture, the Lunar New Year is called Tết Nguyên Đán, often shortened to "Tết." This holiday signals the arrival of spring and thus new beginnings. It's celebrated by everyone — between family members, friends, colleagues, and more. During this time of year, sweet treats and other symbols of good luck and fortune are exchanged, to welcome in an auspicious year.
Socola's Year of the Snake Collection is inspired by the inviting aromas of Lunar New Year celebrations — from pandan and coconut-scented warm sticky rice, to spicy and sticky ginger peanut candies, to the fragrant steam wafting off of a hot cup of tea ... and so much more.
