Rooted In Africa
Our story
Chocolatier Adey was born from a simple desire to convey Ethiopia’s rich history of craftsmanship and culinary heritage through the medium of chocolate. What started in a basement kitchen in 2017 is now a growing atelier, where every piece is made by hand with care, skill, and artistic expression. We are self-taught chocolatiers inspired by refined European techniques, the rich tapestry of African cultures, and a passion for creating beauty by bridging the two.
At Chocolatier Adey, each piece is an embodiment of the resilience, creativity & ambition of the African Renaissance — a celebration of what has been, what is, and what is yet to come. Our chocolates are not just an indulgent luxury; they are an invitation to savour & take part in the story of a continent reinventing itself anew.
Our Name
Our name, Adey, honours the flower that marks the Ethiopian New Year, symbolising the renewal and resurgence of African craftsmanship on the global stage. Reflecting the budding promise of Ethiopia & Africa blossoming into a beacon of excellence on the global stage, this is chocolate with a point of view — rooted in place, crafted for the world.
Our Logo
A visual representation of the Akan proverb “Nea Onnim No Sua A, Ohu” or “One who does not know, can know through learning”, it speaks to our self-taught beginnings, and the resourcefulness of a continent that turns scarcity into artistry, and challenges into triumphs — it is a quiet homage to Ethiopia and Africa as a whole.
Our Mission & Vision
From the outset, our mission has been to create world-class chocolates that celebrate Ethiopia’s culinary heritage and reintroduce it to a global audience through the medium of chocolate.
As we look to the future, our vision is clear: to become Africa’s premier chocolatier & chocolate maker, with a wholly integrated value chain, from cultivation and fermentation, to manufacturing and retail.
Bonbons, bars and beyond
From classic truffles to flavour-forward bonbons, every collection reflects our passion for beauty, balance, and storytelling.
