Katrina Markoff, the founder and former CEO of Vosges Haut-Chocolat, recently debuted her new brand, Violet Flame Chocolate. Markoff launched the line completely on her own, in five months, and the ingredients range from Lion's Mane to milk produced in small quantities in the Andes.
The brand also includes the creation of the Cacao Spiritus experience, a daily 10-minute ritual that is more than just tasting the chocolate. And as a thank you to Markoff's Chicago roots, Violet Flame Chocolate includes products only available in Chicago.
