History
Established in 1983.
A pioneer in the American chocolate movement, Lake Champlain Chocolates is a family-owned company located in Burlington, Vermont. In 1983, Jim Lampman declared he would create upscale American chocolates that would «rival the Belgians.» Thirty years later, the Lampman family has done just that, by introducing European flavors and tastes using local, Vermont ingredients and by taking a craftsman’s approach to chocolate: creativity, patience and mastery. This level of care and craft leads to chocolates that win high praise, year after year, from customers and industry experts alike. Lake Champlain Chocolates products include chocolate bars, as well as the best-selling Five Star Bars, truffles, Chocolates of Vermont, caramels, gift assortments and gourmet hot chocolate and are available online, nationwide at natural food stores and co-ops, such as Whole Foods Market, specialty food and gift stores, and at their three company-owned stores.
