Schmid’s Fine Chocolates began with Swiss chocolatier, Hermann Schmid. Born in Luzern, Switzerland, Hermann began making chocolates as a very young man. He learned from Old World masters and continued to make truffles and confections his life work over the next fifty years. Hermann relocated to the Los Angeles area to own and operate 6 shops throughout Redondo Beach, Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. All the while, he honed and perfected his handcrafted chocolate recipes and techniques, for which he earned recognition as “the best” by “The Chocolate Bible”- a published book rating chocolates around the United States. Then, after years in Los Angeles, Hermann moved to Orange County and opened Schmid’s Fine Chocolates of San Clemente. Not long after Schmid’s Fine Chocolates moved to San Clemente, Kim Maya, a devoted customer and frequent buyer of Hermann’s handmade chocolate, offered to purchase the store. He stayed on to train Kim in the art of producing quality gourmet chocolates.
