TINY BITES
OF DELICIOUS TINGLING
Chocolatier. Handcrafted in Transylvania, delivered everywhere.
Before going deeper into our story, let’s dig deeper into our tagline: Why tiny bites?
Why delicious tingling?
In a nutshell, our motto captures the essence of our philosophy: that extraordinary flavors can be found in the smallest of treats. It speaks about that second when you bite something and you get an unexpected explosion in your taste buds.
You know how it feels. It’s so special you can’t forget it. The sensation of precise equilibrium between ingredients, the flavor of one that stands out, the comforting after taste that makes you want even more. That's the feeling we aim to evoke. A bit tingling. Maximilian kind of tingling.
Now, let us tell you three things
you need to keep in mind about us
We're aiming for beauty
Beauty, alongside truth and goodness, is one of humanity's foundational concepts. For us, beauty isn't merely aesthetic; it's the grace, elegance, and sublime that permeates our actions and creations. We aspire to live a life surrounded by beauty, both within ourselves and in the world around us, reflected in our products and our souls.
We strive to embody this value in all our endeavors. Our special collections are the epitome of this philosophy, blending culinary creativity with aesthetic concepts. Currently, we offer four distinct collections (listed below), with plans to unveil an innovative conceptual menu. Stay tuned for more updates.
We’re totally dedicated to the craft
Artisanship is our defining characteristic. We celebrate the beauty of handcrafted work, embracing the unique imperfections that make each piece special.
Our commitment to small-scale (small, nimble, thirsty to learn) production allows us to prioritise quality ingredients with traceable origins, adhering to Slow Food principles.
While not from a traditional chocolate-making country, we learn from the best and invest in world-class training.
We’re a family business
Laura, the owner of Maximilian started as a finance professional with a hidden passion for crafting chocolate. Before working for Maximilian 24/7 she used to attended prestigious workshops to hone her passion for chocolate. But at one point, she started to dream to have her own place, so she devised a plan to turn her dream into reality. Drawing on her economic background, she secured the necessary funding to launch her chocolate business.
Then her mother Lucia's joined in (if you call us, she will be the one that answers) - she takes care of our workshops, orders and, as a real mother, she takes care of all of us.
The brand name "Maximilian" holds a special significance, paying homage to Laura’s son and embodying the ideal qualities she hopes he will develop: exquisiteness, beauty lover, craftmanship.
