FAQ

How long do your chocolates last? How quickly should they be enjoyed upon receiving?
We recommend enjoying our Truffles and Gourmet Chocolate Bars within 2 weeks of receiving them to experience what we call “peak delight”, however they will last up to a month at ambient temperature, and two months in refrigeration. While refrigerating and freezing items can greatly increase the life of filled chocolate products, it's generally discouraged to avoid changing the texture of the product.

All of our treats are processed in a facility that handles dairy, peanuts, wheat, soy and tree nuts.

What does Topogato mean?
In Italian, topo means mouse, and gatto* means cat (*we dropped a “t”).

After accomplished careers in the culinary and design worlds, we’ve learned that creativity is a perpetual chase, and in this regard the metaphor of “cat and mouse” resonates with us. As creatives, we’re in constant pursuit of new ways to delight and inspire people with unexpected flavors and perspectives.
