CAILLER: From The Foothills Of The Swiss Alps To The City By The Bay

VEVEY, Switzerland, Dec. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CAILLER, home of Swiss chocolate since 1819, is now available online and at an exclusive San Francisco retail pop-up location just in time for the gifting season and holiday celebrations.  With Amazon as its primary retailer, Nestlé will again sell CAILLER chocolate in the U.S., bringing its super-premium chocolate from the lush foothills of the Swiss Alps to American doorsteps nationwide. 

"From one chocolate town to another, we are thrilled to bring our rich Swiss heritage – nearly 200 years of recipes and techniques, from bean to bar – to San Francisco, a city that respects and appreciates chocolate as much as we do," says Paul Hodges, Head of CAILLER International.

To further enhance the experience, CAILLER has partnered with renowned San Francisco-based restaurateur and sommelier, Shelley Lindgren, to pair California wines with pieces from the CAILLER Signature Selection and its brand new, limited-time-only Winter Selection.

"There is no better synergy – especially in California – than a premium Swiss chocolate that has been perfected over generations and the rich flavors of wine, " says Shelley.  "It's a perfect pair just in time for the holidays and I'm thrilled to help share the CAILLER story with fellow San Franciscans."
