Our Story

Behind every brand is a story, and ours is crafted with love, determination, and a sprinkle of cocoa.

Sara Khoudary: The Heart and Soul Behind NOCO Chocolates

Sara Khoudary, a beacon of creativity and passion in the world of chocolate.

 

Sara Khoudary, Founder of NOCO Chocolates
Certified Professional Chocolatier

Have you ever harbored a childhood dream that seemed to veer off course as life unfolded in unexpected directions?

Well, I'm living proof that dreams can indeed become reality.

My love affair with chocolate and baking began in the innocence of childhood. I cherished baking so much that I'd feign illness just to stay home and immerse myself in creating cakes, pies, and all sorts of delightful treats. While baking came naturally to me, my heart yearned for something more specific—I dreamed of crafting chocolate. The allure of chocolate and caramel, coupled with the boundless creativity they promised, captivated me. Yet, the journey to fulfilling this dream was anything but straightforward.

Chocolate may have been my dream, but life's realities often have a way of sidelining our most cherished aspirations. As college approached, my initial desire to become a pastry chef was shelved in favor of a more "responsible" path in business. Despite this detour, the passion and dream for chocolate making never faded. It lingered persistently, a sweet vision of someday owning my own chocolate shop, of embracing the identity of a Professional Chocolatier.

I firmly believe that each of us has a destined path, even if we find success elsewhere. For years, I excelled in business, yet I knew deep down that it wasn't where I belonged. The vision of becoming a Professional Chocolatier remained a constant, swirling in my thoughts like perfectly tempered chocolate. The longing was palpable, a dream that refused to be ignored.

My commitment to this dream never wavered, as I keenly followed an international chocolate school and ventured to Europe to learn from the masters. Then, amid the global pandemic, a simple conversation with a dear friend steered me back to my true path. When asked what I would choose to do if anything were possible, my heart knew the answer. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, I dared to dream. By day's end, I had enrolled in the Professional Chocolatier program I had long admired. I had taken the leap.

Now, I am living my childhood dream, crafting chocolates that reflect my vision and passion. My journey has taught me that it's never too late to pursue what brings you joy, to create something that delights both the creator and those who partake in their creations.

At NOCO Chocolates, we do things differently. My love for chocolate is matched only by my commitment to using organic and natural ingredients, avoiding the common allergens and additives found in many commercial chocolates. We offer consciously crafted, indulgent treats that everyone can enjoy.

This is my story. This is my dream realized.

And I'm here to tell you: DREAMS REALLY DO COME TRUE.
