New Chocolate: Poco Dolce

Subtle and sophisticated chocolate fresh from San Francisco





Ma Petite Shoe strives to bring you the newest and most unique chocolates available in the world. So when we discovered Poco Dolce  in San Francisco, we knew that we had  to bring chocolatier Kathy Wiley’s nuanced chocolate creations to Baltimore.
"Italian for 'little sweet,' Poco Dolce's mission is to elevate the art of sweet and savory..."
From Poco Dolce:
"Poco Dolce Confections was started by Kathy Wiley in 2003 as a small San Francisco baking company specializing in regional Italian pastries. Within a year, she discovered a passion for creating hand-made chocolates with unique and exciting flavors. Having a predilection for more savory foods, Kathy decided to finish a piece of bittersweet chocolate with a sprinkling of Grey Sea Salt (also known as Sel Gris.) Poco Dolce's bittersweet chocolate 'Tiles' were born.
The name - Poco Dolce - literally translates from Italian as 'not too sweet' or "just a little sweet." Applying this idea to their products, Poco Dolce's ongoing mission is to stay on the 'savory side of sweet.' "
