Welcome to The Newfoundland Chocolate Company

We're Hiring!

 

W A R N I N G !

 

Those who work for the Newfoundland Chocolate Company are constantly exposed to fine chocolate.  The aromas of melting chocolate that emanate from the factory frequently cause new staff to find religion with expressions such as ‘oh my God!’  Staff are  encouraged to regularly taste our gourmet artisan chocolates and should be warned that the chances of becoming a chocolate connoisseur (or snob) are immensely high.  New staff should be prepared to find themselves part of a team of chocoholics who love nothing more than making, smelling, admiring, talking about and yes, eating the finest chocolate made … anywhere.  If you already are, or are willing to become, passionate about all things chocolate, then read on.

 

We are a proud Newfoundland company that is growing faster than a Willy Wonka summersault.  We are looking for a handful of passionate, fun, hard-working professionals to join our expanding team as we eagerly move our operations into our new chocolate factory at 166 Duckworth Street.  We are seeking:

 

Chocolatiers – Do you love making chocolate?  Would you like to join our team of gifted Chocolatiers who make it their mission to create breathtakingly beautiful and delicious artisan chocolates?  A pastry arts background with a specialty in chocolate would be an asset.

 

Retail – We’re opening Newfoundland’s first Chocolaterie, or fine chocolate shop at our new location.  We’re looking for friendly, courteous retailers with an eye for design and a passion for  learning and talking about all things chocolate.  Full and part time hours will be available.

 

Packaging – do you have a meticulous eye for detail?  We are seeking diligent, conscientious, nimble-fingered individuals to put the ‘dressing’ on our products.  Experience in gift basket design is also an asset as is knowing the words to Oompa Loompa songs.

 

Please send your resume, cover letter and references to info@newfoundlandchocolatecompany.com (please indicate the position(s) for which you’re applying).  The deadline to apply is  September 10, 2010.  We thank all applicants for their interest, however only those selected for an interview will be contacted.

It's here ... our very own "Golden Ticket" contest!

 

In celebration of the grand opening in Fall 2010 of our new Chocolaterie at 166 Duckworth Street in St. John's, the Newfoundland Chocolate Company is pleased to announce our very own Golden Ticket contest!  Here's how the contest works:

 

Only 500 boxes of this special Grand Opening Series - Golden Ticket Contest box will be available at participating retailers throughout Newfoundland and Labrador.

 

Five boxes will contain a Golden Ticket.

 

The five Golden Ticket winners contact the Newfoundland Chocolate Company to register for a prize draw to be held prior to our grand opening in Fall 2010.

We will draw one winning Golden Ticket.  The winner is entitled to a "dory load" of chocolate (one basket of gourmet artisan chocolate per month for 12 months - total prize value $1,200) and a behind-the-scenes tour of the Chocolaterie.

 

The four runners up will each receive a basket of chocolate valued at $100.

 

We're very pleased to announce that as of August 18, 2010 there have been three golden tickets redeemed so there are still two out there yet to be discovered.  Our congratulations to Jillian Beehan, Sue Ann Strathie and Matthew Boychuk.

 

Golden Ticket Contest boxes are now available at the following retailers:  A Special Touch (Avalon Mall); Abbott & Haliburton (Port au Port); Auntie Crae's (Water Street, St. John's); Belbin's (Quidi Vidi Road, St. John's); Craft Minders, CBS; Flower Country, Grand Falls-Windsor; Food for Thought (Duckworth Street, St. John's); Hempware (Duckworth Street, St. John's); Holiday Gifts Too (Sheraton Hotel, St. John's); Island Treasures; Newfoundland Weavery (Water Street, St. John's); Relay (St. John's International Airport); Sonny's Flowers (Grand Falls-Windsor); Trend (Grand Falls-Windsor)  Check back as we continue to add participating retailers.

 

 

What makes Newfoundland Chocolate Company chocolates so special?

 

First, you’ll not find a group of chocolatiers more passionate about great chocolate.  We only use the very finest of Belgian, Swiss and French gourmet couverture chocolate made from only the very finest of cocoa beans.  Our chocolates are pure and free of additives and preservatives – so they are best enjoyed before the date indicated (although we have a hunch they’ll have disappeared long before then!)

 

Second, every chocolate we make is created by hand, lovingly and passionately, by our skilled, artisan chocolatiers.  As such, every chocolate in every box is unique – as unique as the people, places, culture and landscape of this wonderful, beautiful Newfoundland and Labrador which we call home.

 

Third, we believe that truly great chocolate is pure and should be celebrated, tasted fully and naturally and never be masked with sweet, overpowering centres.  We strive to find complementary blends of chocolate with fine, natural ingredients.  Each boxed series features a different array of our favourite combinations of our finest milk, dark and white chocolates with nuts, caramels, locally roasted coffees, home made biscotti and what are inarguably the finest berries to be found anywhere – our own natural Newfoundland and Labrador wild berries.

 

If you are a returning customer, thank you for giving us an opportunity to share our passion for exceptional chocolate with you.  If you have not yet discovered Newfoundland Chocolate, please do – you will not be disappointed.  We hope you will savour and enjoy our chocolates as thoroughly as we enjoyed making them for you.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Brent Smith

Executive Chocolatier & Owner
