Trondheim Sjokolade: Delicious works of art from Trondheim

Trondheim Sjokolade is an award-winning speciality chocolatier producing a variety of handcrafted chocolate products. With a creative and dynamic approach, the small chocolate factory explores local ingredients and exciting flavour combinations as well as paying homage to well-known desserts from around the globe.

Led by the distinguished chocolate master Alma Sundøy, Trondheim Sjokolade is a small chocolate maker with a big commitment to craft chocolate. Since 2019, the team has produced first-rate chocolate creations from their factory in the vibrant city of Trondheim, known as the gourmet capital of Norway. Their handcrafted products are sold at a wide array of establishments across the country.

With a background in nursing, Sundøy worked with cancer patients for several years, with a focus on helping them have as good a quality of life as possible despite their challenges. The work inspired her not to put off what she had always wanted to do – pursuing her childhood dream of working with chocolate.

Sundøy is passionately invested in the art of chocolate making. Over the course of her illustrious career as a chocolatier, Sundøy has won many awards and worked with some of the world’s best chocolate makers and pastry chefs. “It’s a very rewarding job because so many people love chocolate,” she says.

Producing a wide range of chocolate products, including an annual Christmas calendar that always sells out quickly, Trondheim Sjokolade is best known for its delicious, colourful confectionery. The exclusive chocolates are almost too beautiful to eat, like little works of art. “Providing an experience is important to me. I want our customers to be wowed when they see the chocolate and again when they taste it,” Sundøy says.

Chocolate is a fantastic gift all year round, but according to Sundøy especially popular during the Christmas season. Edible gifts are on the rise as more people are keen to avoid overconsumption and adding unnecessary things to their homes. Sundøy has several faithful customers who love to buy chocolates for others. She believes speciality chocolate goes beyond a simple gift, providing a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds.

“When it comes to chocolate, and especially locally-produced, high-quality chocolate like ours, the thought and care that goes into every bite shines through and makes it a true experience,” she says. “Most people like chocolate, but when you’re given a box of handmade chocolates where the aesthetic and flavour are both inviting, you also appreciate the thought behind the gift.”
