HEARTS AND HANDCRAFT: LÄDERACH REIMAGINES VALENTINE’S 2026
February 2026
Since 1962, Swiss chocolatier Läderach has been synonymous with exceptional craftsmanship, innovation, and the freshest premium chocolate. Handcrafted in Glarus, Switzerland, and overseen by the third generation of the Läderach family, their creations combine tradition, artistry, and contemporary elegance. Today, Läderach operates over 230 chocolateries in 27 countries, offering chocolate experiences that are as thoughtful as they are indulgent.
This Valentine’s Day, Läderach presents its 2026 collection, a delicate celebration of love that balances playful charm with refined luxury. The collection introduces the Strawberry Marc de Champagne Truffle Heart Box (£35), sixteen pralines enrobed in dark and white strawberry chocolate, featuring a silky truffle centre. For a more extravagant gesture, the Velvet Heart Box 54-piece edition (£99) includes tempting flavours such as Raspberry-Yuzu, Cherry, Caramel Salé Blond, Hazelnut, and Bourbon Vanilla - each alcohol-free this season.
Whimsy meets sophistication in the hand-painted chocolate teddies (£19), available in Milk, Dark, and Raspberry White Chocolate. Redesigned for 2026, each bear is crafted with precision, offering a charming, playful counterpoint to the more indulgent pralines.
Läderach’s FrischSchoggi Sticks return in romantic packaging, in both milk and dark chocolate varieties, alongside the FrischSchoggi Heart Collection, where bite-sized hearts showcase Strawberry Curd, Caramel-Almond, Hazelnut Dark, and signature Hazelnut Milk. Many can be personalised with an “I love you” message, combining the elegance of Swiss chocolate with the intimacy of a handwritten sentiment.
For smaller gestures, Läderach offers Diamond Hearts (£7) in Milk or Raspberry-Yoghurt, and the Praline Heart Selection 8pcs (£14), presented in ribbon-tied pouches. You can also create customisable gift boxes, selecting truffles, pralines, and FrischSchoggi to curate a bespoke chocolate experience for a loved one - in-store wrapping optional.
The 2026 Valentine’s range is a testament to Läderach’s dedication to quality, creativity, and love for detail. Läderach reminds us that true luxury lies in the care, craft, and thoughtfulness behind every gesture - whether it’s in the form of a single heart-shaped praline or a show stopping 54-piece box, chocolate remains one of the best ways to say: I love you.
