The Amella Story

Amella Caramels were created by a husband and wife team out of California in 2007. In 2006, Emir

and Elena started their adventures into the world of Artisanal chocolate making. The adventure began with Ecole

Chocolat’s Professional Chocolatier program where they were taught the basics of candy making. Then it was

off to Paris, France to visit the legendary Valhrona chocolate factory and take classes in chocolate making from

renowned Valhrona chef Philippe Givre.

Upon their return from Paris, they were both inspired to create unique artisanal candies using all

natural ingredients. Each day, they would play around with different ingredients to create unique confections and

share them with friends and neighbors.

The magic moment came when Elena decided to try to make a carrot cake caramel. The carrot

cake inspiration came from Keith’s family restaurant, where Elena worked as a Hostess and saw how much the

public loved carrot cake. The carrot cake with a dollop of white chocolate frosting was the first Amella.

The Amella Product

Amella Cocoa Butter Caramels are made from scratch with superior ingredients,

sourced as locally as possible. Our original caramel is hand made with raw blue

agave nectar in place of corn syrup. Then it is smothered in gourmet dark or milk

chocolate. The secret ingredient to our new Agave Caramel is pure cocoa butter. It

helps create a unique consistency, like a caramel and truffle hybrid. Your taste

buds will find the silky texture and decadent flavor impossible to resist.

Health Benefits:

– All Natural & Organic, Non-GMO, locally sourced ingredients.

– Made with Raw Blue Weber Agave nectar, a low-glycemic sweetener, in

place of corn syrup.

– Gluten Free and Kosher Certified

– No artificial colors, preservatives, or flavoring

– Zero grams trans fat
