About us
Our Story
Forrat’s Chocolates specializes in quality Truffles, Caramels and Chocolates made fresh, on site in our London facility, using only European Chocolate, as well, Cocoa Mass, Cocoa butter and natural flavorings to name a few ingredients are received weekly with world wide provenances, that allows our Chocolatiers to make diverse recipes, to adapt to a Canadian demanding customer. Forrat’s Chocolates takes you back to the basics – fresh ingredients, handcrafted quality, and a passion for making chocolate, but also keeps up with an ever evolving and demanding customer base, also, one of the major goal of Forrats, is to be able to provide high end Chocolate to the masses, removing the stigma that high end chocolate has to come with a high end ticket price. The first Forrat’s store opened in September 2003, at the Covent Garden Market in London, Ontario. At that time, the store was called La Chocolaterie Forrat Inc. The name was ‘quite a mouthful’ so Marc decided as more stores were about to open, they needed to change the name to something simpler and thats when Forrat’s Chocolates was born. The mission of Forrat’s Chocolates is to bring back chocolate as an edible social experience, the good ol’ days – the days of face-to face customer interaction that existed before pre-packaged, mass production. At Forrat’s Chocolates, we encourage customers to share their stories, bring in their families and friends and watch the process of their favorite treats being made fresh.
