Our Story
Carmatillie Chocolates is an artisan chocolate company based in Cincinnati, Ohio, built on a dedication of love to my mother, Carmen, and her sister, my Aunt Tillie. Together, they passed down a deep passion for the culinary and baking arts, along with an appreciation for beautiful presentation and unforgettable flavors.
That passion came full circle at a wedding. After experiencing one too many mediocre catering menus, I was asked a simple question: “Want to cater our wedding? You’re such a great cook — you could do so much better.” How do you say no to your sister?
That moment marked the beginning of my journey into the culinary and pastry arts, a path that would eventually lead me back to what I love most: handcrafted chocolate.
Today, Carmatillie Chocolates creates small-batch, made-to-order artisan chocolates in Cincinnati, using thoughtfully selected ingredients and a meticulous attention to detail. Chocolate is my muse — a medium where flavor, texture, and design come together to create something truly special.
Whether you’re looking for luxury chocolate gifts, custom chocolate boxes, or seasonal artisan collections, every piece is crafted to be as stunning as it is delicious.
One bite, and you’ll fall in love with our creations.
