About Zoe's Chocolate Co

Growing up, we loved helping our mom Eleni & our father, George, the master chocolatier for our uncle’s business. It was never a chore. It was always fun. But we never dreamt of a career in chocolate. After finishing our studies, we began our professions in nearby Washington, DC. Part of us always missed what was once commonplace in our lives: The smell of melting chocolate, the creation of bonbons, the rush from holiday excitement, and most of all, making everyone in our town happy. However, after 30 years as a master chocolatier, our dad found himself out of work. We knew what we had to do. The idea began to grow for a chocolate business of our own, a place for our dad and his kids to come together and to bring modern concepts to our time-honored tradition. Our lifelong passion for chocolate was something we were witnessing everywhere around us. We had a mission to help dad and build a family business of our own. In 2007, we opened Zoe’s Chocolate Co. George was thrilled with the idea of working with his children. The company was called “Zoe” because the name means “giving life.”Read their story
