Hachez
Hachez () is a chocolate manufacturing company based in Bremen in northern Germany. It was founded in 1890 by Joseph Emile Hachez and Gustav Linde. History
The company was founded by Joseph Emile Hachez and business partner Gustav Linde in 1890. The Westerstrasse headquarters was located in the centre of Bremen. In 1923, Hachez was walking and took notice of the autumn leaves. It inspired him to recreate the chocolate to look similar to the leaves he had seen earlier. In 2012, Hachez was acquired by Danish company Toms International. As of 2019, the HACHEZ brand will be distributed by Hanseatisches Chocoladen Kontor GmbH & Co. KG, Bremen, as the successor company to Hachez. Production
The cocoa mainly comes from South America. The flavour is extracted by using the hot-air currents that are in traditional roasting drums. When the cocoa is ground and rolled, it is an average diameter of 0.0010 to 0.0014 mm. The conching of the cocoa then takes place for up to 72 hours. Altogether, it takes over 100 hours to produce the products. Distribution
