Läderach delivers Kosher certification for its series and special Hanukkah packaging

Swiss fresh premium chocolate brand Läderach has gained Kosher certification for its 40 stores and online in the US and Canada, as well as unveiling limited-edition Hanukkah praline gift packaging, reports Neill Barston.

Among its seasonal series is its core FrischSchogg bark and non-alcoholic pralines and truffles, with the company delivering a total of over 40 limited-edition chocolate items available for the Winter Holidays.

As part of this, the business is offering limited-edition Hanukkah gift packaging for pralines – only available at select store locations in the US and Canada, including California locations, Florida, New York, New Jersey, New York, Washington and Northern Virginia.

According to the company, which started out in Switzerland in the early 1960s, and has enjoyed strong expansion across Europe and into America, the Hanukkah gift packaging features a blue box sleeve (pictured below) with a blue and gold ribbon and a “Happy Hanukkah” tag – available for eight-piece (USD 19.00 & CAD 21.00), 18-piece (USD 39.00 & CAD 42.00), 24-piece (USD 49.00 & CAD 55.00), and 36-piece (USD 69.00 & CAD 79.00), assorted praline boxes. The freshness of Läderach chocolate is second to none as it’s sustainably sourced, made from bean-to-bar in-house in Switzerland, shipped directly to its 100 + stores worldwide, and available online at laderach.com.

Nathanael Hausmann, president, Läderach North America, who gave an exclusive video interview to Confectionery Production earlier this year, welcomed the Christmas extension to its lines, as well as its Kosher certification.

He said: “From vegan to kosher certification, and limited-edition gift packaging for the winter holidays, including Hanukkah, we’re proud to offer Läderach premium fresh artisanal chocolate for more chocolate lovers and more occasions. We want to ensure our chocolates can be available for everyone and add a bit of joy for all types of everyday and seasonal rituals.”

All FrischSchoggi products and non-alcoholic pralines and truffles are certified kosher, regardless of whether they are sold open-fronted, or already packaged. The Kosher certification entity Läderach uses is Triangle K and Associates, Inc and is a kosher dairy certification. Läderach carries a Kosher certification issued by K Meshulash/Triangle K Inc. Kosher chocolate is chocolate that meets that requirement of kashrut, the Jewish food law.
