Domingo Ghirardelli immigrates to the United States from his homeland of Italy, he has dreams of striking it rich in the California Gold Rush. After trying his hand and failing at mining, he settles on opening a tent-store in nearby Stockton, CA, selling various supplies and confections to fellow miners. With his new business proving successful, Domingo decides to open a store and hotel in San Francisco. After a major fire in 1851 destroys his businesses, he begins to rebuild. In 1852, he forms a new confectionary company that is to become the Ghirardelli Chocolate Company. Today, Ghirardelli Chocolate Company has built on its signature taste and time-honored manufacturing processes to become America’s premium chocolate company.

"Truly fine chocolates have several characteristics in common: they are always fresh, contain high quality ingredients like premium cocoa beans and dairy butter, are usually less sweet and feature unusual textures and natural flavors. Consequently, their taste differs greatly from less expensive chocolates, which tend to use artificial flavors and preservatives to achieve a longer shelf-life." Godiva's chocolate products are available worldwide at its 450 boutique stores, in department and specialty stores, through mail order, and from its Web site. Godiva Chocolatier, Inc. began operations in North America in 1966 as an importer and distributor of Godiva chocolates from Belgium. Godiva is owned by Turkish confectioner Ülker Bisküvi Sanayi, which acquired it from Campbell Soup in 2008.

August Goetze purchased the Baltimore Chewing Gum Company five generations ago in 1895 – but don’t let the name mislead you – candy was his business. Goetze’s passion ultimately led him to focus on perfecting a single, signature product. With soft, chewy caramel wrapped around a sweet fondant center, Caramel Creams® were born. Their unique taste has been delighting candy fans ever since – and setting the standard for consistent quality in the American candy business. As Goetze’s Candy Company, we have enjoyed more than a century of customer satisfaction. From horse and cart deliveries in downtown Baltimore, Goetze’s cooks and processes candy daily, for shipments all over the globe. As a 5th generation family business, we’re sure to keep growing into the future without losing touch with a tradition of quality – and a history of extremely loyal customers!
