About Velum

Indulgence With Purpose

Velum Chocolates was founded on the belief that premium chocolate should be crafted with purpose, curiosity, and uncompromising quality. As a veteran-founded company, Velum is built on the values of discipline, integrity, continuous learning, and earning trust through consistent craftsmanship.

Our passion extends beyond chocolate through the Velum Chocolatier Academy, where we share the history, science, and artistry of chocolate making. We believe that when people understand the craft behind chocolate, they gain a deeper appreciation for every bite.

As Velum grows, so does our commitment to giving back to the communities that supported us, including our fellow veterans. We're building more than chocolate—we're building a community founded on craftsmanship, education, and trust.

Building trust before the first bite.

A Message from the Founder:

“When I founded Velum, I wasn't trying to create just another chocolate company. I wanted to build something people could believe in—a company where quality comes before shortcuts, education is shared openly, and trust is earned through consistent craftsmanship.

The Velum Chocolatier Academy reflects my belief that knowledge should be accessible to anyone passionate about chocolate. Whether you're enjoying one of our bars or learning the craft behind them, my hope is that you become part of the Velum journey.

If you've chosen to support Velum—as a customer, a student, or simply someone following our story—thank you. Your encouragement helps turn this vision into reality, and I'm truly grateful to have you with us as we continue to grow.”
