When I founded Vosges Haut-Chocolat
ten years ago, I vowed to create a luxury
chocolate experience rooted in a sensory
journey, one that would delight the most
discerning of clients and the most
passionate of foodies. Your gift recipients
will join me on a journey around the
world in a single box, Traveling the World
through Chocolate and challenging the
way they think about food. You choose
the destination. Embark upon a sensory
voyage to India with our sweet Indian
curry and coconut Naga truffle, make a
stop in Japan with the wasabi, ginger
and black sesame seed Black Pearl truffle
or experience authentic chili pepper
infused dark chocolate with our Red Fire
product line. Perhaps it is the simple
indulgence of Comfort Food—Caramel
Toffee, gooey Caramel Marshmallows,
Peanut Butter Bonbons or Wink of the
Rabbit Caramels—that your clients would
relish in…
My exceptional Corporate Concierges
are here to guide you in choosing the
quintessential gift. I want your gifting
experience to be a reflection of your
brand, your creativity and your taste.
Whatever your wish, a culinary
journey awaits.
peace, love + chocolate,
Katrina Markoff, Owner and Chocolatier

company history
vosges haut-chocolat
Katrina Markoff founded Vosges Haut-Chocolat and its concept of Travel the
World through Chocolate in 1998 based on her international education and
travel experiences. Using chocolate as her medium to explore the indigenous
spices, flowers, herbs, roots and liqueurs of the world, she creates a unique
tasting experience that engages all the senses. Markoff’s avant-garde approach
to chocolate has allowed her to establish a fresh and innovative segment in the
chocolate industry.
Each of Markoff’s chocolate creations is inspired by a small piece of the world,
illuminated through the art of chocolate. Spanish architect Antoní Gaudí’s La
Sagrada Familia is represented by chocolate and saffron truffles coated in all
natural sugar crystals to reflect his brilliant mosaic work. The collection of Zion
celebrates ingredients indigenous to Jamaica—sorrel and hibiscus flowers, hemp
seeds and mango—to explore Rastafarian culture. The literature of F. Scott
Fitzgerald prompted Markoff to create a collection of Champagne and chocolate
truffles, aptly named The Gatsby Collection and packaged in a chic, 1920s era
pin-up girl motif.
Always on the cutting edge, Markoff has developed her chocolate business
through creative marketing techniques and establishing unique partnerships in
many industries. She incorporates literature, art, yoga, pop culture, and bohemian
and modern temperaments into her business model to further the development of
her brand. She runs a multifaceted business comprised of five retail stores, mail
order and internet divisions as well as corporate and wholesale departments that
introduce the brand not only to the American market, but also to those in Canada
and Europe. As her company expands, Markoff builds innovation from within by
remaining one step ahead of the trends. She does not look within her industry for
inspiration but rather to the art, fashion and globally political world.
Markoff’s partnerships with local artisans and charity organizations help her to
transcend from the culinary realm to a world that encompasses her mantra of
“chocolate lifestyle.” Markoff believes that it is the responsibility of corporations
to give back to their community and constantly strives to share this mission
through the capabilities of her business. While she chooses to focus her charitable
donations on organizations focused on the welfare of women and children, the
majority of Markoff’s efforts go towards one principal cause: V-Day, the movement
to stop violence against women and girls worldwide. V-Day helps raise awareness
and spotlights certain areas of the world in desperate need providing shelter, food
and education in collaboration with grassroots organizations. Markoff created The
Aztec Truffle Collection in support of V-Day, inspired by the women of Juarez,
Mexico and ingredients indigenous to the region. 10% of the proceeds from this
truffle collection and 25% from Vosges’ La Grande Hatbox are donated to this
important cause.
In addition, Vosges Haut-Chocolat is certified as a WBE (Women’s Business
Enterprise) by the WBENC (Women’s Business Enterprise National Council), one
of the largest and most prestigious organizations dedicated to the advocacy of
women-owned businesses and the diversification of commerce in the business
world.

green initiative
vosges haut-chocolat
PURPLE GOES GREEN
Vosges Haut-Chocolat truffles are crafted with a vibrant array of spices, flowers,
fruits and nuts harvested from Mother Earth. Cherry blossoms, pandan leaves,
invigorating kaffir limes and chocolate draw a quite literal connection to the soil
that supports this life. With each bite we are reminded of everything that is lush
and green and alive that contributes to the flavors on your palate—yet another
incentive to be an exemplary green business.
The cultures, places and people that inspire our chocolate collections are also
our inspiration for change: John Hardy, an entrepreneur of “sustainable luxury”
who converted a rice field in Bali into a fully sustainable design space & factory;
Sally Harper, who supplies the organic pecans for our popular Wink of the Rabbit
Caramel Collection; Mayor Richard Daley, who is working diligently to green the
Windy City… the list goes on.
Beginning with our chocolate and funneling down to our manufacturing facility,
packaging, office recycling programs and more, Vosges Haut-Chocolat is
dedicated to our Green Mission. This past year we have implemented a number
of earth-friendly initiatives throughout our company. We’re most proud of the
organic certification of our manufacturing facility in Chicago, operated by 100%
renewable energy—a huge step that chocolate lovers can feel good about. We
launched our first certified organic product in 2007 (Peanut Butter Bonbons) and
plan on rolling out 8 (yes 8!) new organic Exotic Chocolate Bars this summer. As
always, our signature purple boxes are made from recycled paperboard and arrive
tied with a luxe satin bow, a pretty addition that saves big on gift-wrapping. The
grande finale, our ultimate green dream, is still in the making: a platinum LEED
certified manufacturing facility and chocolate lifestyle house complete with an
organic rooftop garden, artist-in-residence program and a chocolate educational
center for the surrounding community.
Channel your inner green goddess (or god) and hop on board our race to save the
earth! Here’s just a few more ways we’re making purple green:
Air-filled bags have replaced Styrofoam peanuts in our shipping department…
Note-taking at office meetings is on homemade recycled paper pads… White sun
shades cover our large office windows in the summer to reduce the heat inside…
Our recycling program cuts down on office waste and utilizes the other side of
printed paper for internal documents and memos… Printer cartridges are recycled
with Cartridge World… Torn or damaged packaging is donated to Creative Pitch,
an organization that collects used or discarded office items to create art programs
in underserved schools…

Katrina Markoff
bio & accolades
KATRINA MARKOFF
OWNER/FOUNDER–VOSGES HAUT-CHOCOLAT
Katrina Markoff is a daring soul. An Indiana native with Macedonian roots, she’s that rare combination of artist and
entrepreneur who’s able to take unlikely ingredients and turn them into gold. Her grandmother, who taught her that love
can start in a kitchen, wasn’t surprised when Markoff presented chocolates in a hatbox, but truffle lovers were blown
away. And they weren’t the only ones to sit up and ask for more.
Owner and creative force behind Vosges Haut-Chocolat, Markoff is a 1995 graduate of Vanderbilt University with degrees
in Psychology and Chemistry. Three days following graduation she left to pursue her dream of culinary arts in Paris. She
studied for one year at Le Cordon Bleu and graduated with Le Grand Diplome in Cuisine and Pastry as well as degrees in
Basic and Advanced Oenology.
From Paris, Markoff embarked on an 8-month tour around the world studying food. She worked from place to place,
studying the indigenous cuisines of France, Spain, Italy, Thailand, Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, China, Australia and Hawaii.
She apprenticed at restaurants including the Hôtel de Crillon in Paris, France, El Bulli in Roses, Spain, as well as Arzak
and Martin Berasategui both located in San Sebastian, Spain. She graduated from The Thai Cooking School at the
Oriental Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand, and the Chiva-Som School in Hua Hin, Thailand. During her travels through Asia she
was inspired by the local spice and food markets.
Based on these international experiences, she developed the concept of ‘exotic truffles.’ Fusing a gamut of indigenous
spices, flowers, roots, herbs and liqueurs with premium chocolate, she created a unique tasting experience with each
truffle. Beckoning consumers to step into the now and to indulge each sense—smell, taste, listen, touch and see—with
every bite they take.
Markoff is responsible for all culinary operations at Vosges Haut-Chocolat including research and development. Markoff
creates the unique marketing pieces and creatively seeks partnership opportunities for the ever-evolving company. Her
direction and drive is always forward, developing the business on an ongoing basis, all the while creating a corporate
culture which strives to find a balance of mind, body and spirit within the workplace. Visit their yoga/meditation room in
their corporate headquarters and you will understand what makes this company not your average box of chocolates.
Katrina is constantly working to improve and expand her mission of bringing peace to the world through chocolate, and
her latest undertaking—the building of a platinum LEED certified green manufacturing facility— is evidence of both her
global awareness and dedication to her ever-evolving brand.

Vosges Haut-Chocolat Event Packages
Vosges Haut-Chocolat offers a bevy of
chocolate and libation pairs, designed to elevate
the chocolate tasting experience by combining
educational elements with a guided sensory
exploration of chocolate. Ring us for pricing and
event details!
Wine & Chocolate Pairing Soirée
By far our most popular event! Begin with Naga,
a milk chocolate truffle with sweet Indian curry
and fresh coconut paired with bubbly Moscato
d'Asti, or Red Fire, a dark chocolate truffle with
ancho chillies and Ceylon cinnamon paired with
Argentinean Malbec.
Cheese & Chocolate Pairing Soirée
Cheese and chocolate: two decadent foods that
are sinfully perfect together. Acidic and nutty
cheese notes complement the tannic yet sweet
cacao. Taste Le Truffe au Chocolat Nature, an
85% cacao dark chocolate truffle paired with
California triple crème soft ripened cheese…and
more.
Artisan Beer + Chocolate Pairing Soirée
There are over sixty distinctly different styles of
beer, opening up an unlimited world of possible
pairings. Throw the rules out the window and
taste Mo's Bacon Bar, a deep milk chocolate
with applewood smoked bacon and Alder wood
smoked salt paired with Oatmeal Stout—or even
Smoke Ale for the adventurous sort.
Chillies + Chocolate Pairing Soirée
Explore the flavors of Mesoamerica with
selections from our Aztec Collection and other
Chili + Chocolate fusions. Learn about the
history of chocolate, the connection to the
Aztec and Mayan empires and chocolate's role
as the ultimate aphrodisiac.
Sensory Collection Soirée
Sample single origin chocolates from around
the world and develop your sense of smell and
taste. The experience of uncapping essence
vials, inhaling raw ingredients and nibbling
chocolate will engage and intrigue any crowd. A
great team building event!
Absinthe Speakeasy Soirée New!
Absinthe is back! This infamous liquor, said to
have influenced Picasso and VanGogh alike, is
the theme of our latest chocolate tasting event.
Sip absinthe and nosh on small bites reflective
of absinthe's colorful French history. Experience
the illusion of the green fairy.

tasting tables
Tables of Sweet Treats
Dress up your dessert table with chic chocolat;
choose Vosges chocolates to reflect each and
every mood, culture, season or theme. Create
an architectural display of mini cakes, keep the
party going with an Exotic Ice Cream station
or warm up a winter wedding with hot drinking
chocolates. Dream big, and dream in chocolate!
As an additional option, Vosges Haut-Chocolat
can provide on-site staffing by Chocolate Experts
to guide your guests through the sensory tasting
experience.
Comfort Food Table
Keep it classic with our most-loved Comfort
Foods: Bapchi's Caramel Toffee, Organic Peanut
Butter Bonbons, Caramel Marshmallows and
Wink of the Rabbit Caramels. Better yet, let
guests pick their favorites and fill their own gift
bags!
Aphrodisiac Table
As early as 1517, Emperor Montezuma sipped
liquid chocolate frothed with chili peppers,
cornmeal and exotic spices, believing the elixir to
bestow wisdom and most importantly, virility. Let
your guests explore an array of cupid-inducing
confections to weave a theme of love (or spark a
conversation) at any event.
Exotic Truffle Table
Choose an assortment of Vosges signature
truffles to highlight the theme, colors or vibe of
your event. Or name each of your tables after
one of our exotic truffles and greet guests with
chocolate as they are seated.
Cultural Event Experiences
Wedding Cake Table
In lieu of a traditional wedding cake (or in
addition to it!) create an architectural display
of mini cakes in an assortment of flavors to add
drama to the festivities. Vosges Mini Party Cakes
are layered with fresh ganache and encased in
shell of pure chocolate.
Hautes Glaces Exotic Ice Cream Table
Select from our array of organic, exotic ice
creams for your guests to top with exotic spices,
fruits and nuts—a glamorous sundae bar for
the grand finale of any event. Toppings include
chopped Vosges exotic cookies & brownies, raw
cocoa nibs, exotic candy bar pieces, bacon, spicy
red fire tortilla chips and more.
One love, one chocolate.
A flight of Italian cheeses paired with Vosges
Collezione Italiana truffles. An Indian theme
complete with Vosges' signature curry, coconut
and milk chocolate truffle, a henna artist and
silver leaf-coated chocolates. A southeast
Asian theme featuring a yoga + chocolate
class, tea service and truffles inspired by the
region. An over-the-top showcase of Chocolate
Performance Theater. Intrigued?
Each of Vosges Haut-Chocolat's Cultural Event
Experiences is customized to suit the style
of your soirée. Ring us for details or for other
inspirations.
