Luis Moro Chocolate is a small, Artisan chocolate company. We hand make our chocolates in small batches, using the finest ingredients with no added preservatives. We provide unique chocolate flavors, many that cannot be found anywhere else.
Luis Ellisos Dinos Moro was born in Madrid, Spain in the mid 60’s, the son of a Greek father and Spanish mother. He spent his early years in Spain, where he learned to appreciate the Spaniards zest for life and churros with chocolate, among other things.
The family immigrated to the United States in the 1970’s and eventually landed in Northern California, where they lived for many years. In the 80’s Luis made his way back to Spain to study in Madrid and cemented his love of the European lifestyle, staying up late many a night with an international circle of friends. Having always been interested in travel, their stories inspired him. Upon returning to the U.S. he not only became a travel agent for many years, but also had the opportunity to visit exotic locales such as Costa Rica, Jamaica, Hawaii, the Bahamas and Tahiti, and also our neighboring countries of Canada and Mexico. He also made his way back to Europe again, visiting his ancestral home of Greece, and then onto Italy and again to Spain. It was around that time that he took his interests in a new direction, and became intrigued by the healing and curative properties of plants and herbs, and the creative way to use them in food. He spent many late nights researching and studying. Then many years later, his adventures led him to his future wife, Caryn, and they were married in 2006.
A fateful journey to a chocolate boutique and lavender farm while traveling with Caryn in France led him to his current passion for combining plants, herbs, fruits and chocolate. Luis initially trained at the Notter School of Pastry Arts in Orlando, and later with Jean Pierre Wybauw at the French Pastry School in Chicago. He continues to attend seminars with the world’s top chocolatiers, such as Ramon Morato. He particularly enjoys experimenting with new flavor combinations, and looks forward to launching his next fabulous flavor.
