Photo of Nilda & her St. Bernard, Coltrane- Summer 2008
Hi, My name is Nilda Molina and I started Nilda Chocolates in October 2005. My chocolates were made in a commercial kitchen-share facility and sold at local Farmer's Markets and Fairs throughout the Madison, WI area.
Coming up with a name for my business was the easy part. "Nilda" is a family name that originates from Puerto Rico. What better way to honor my family and heritage then by naming my business "Nilda Chocolates".
There really is no magical or inspiring catch-phrase I use when promoting my chocolates. My inspiration comes from a number of places. My childhood memories, various foods I have tasted from different cultures, and every day life experiences play a part in my creative process. I can only hope that when you try my chocolates you will enjoy them as much as I do.
As the Holidays approach us this season, I would like to take this time to thank my family, friends, & loyal customers for their support as I continue on this journey. Gracias a todos...
