Our Story

My Grandfather and I had a special connection —we called each other “twin”. We were born on the same day, 53 years apart. He used to take me to the park and make me fly high on the swings. I loved those moments, feeling the wind in my hair and asking him to push me higher. He would always come to me and whisper “Pempem, lets go fly high into the park”. He was from Mayan origin, and it was our little secret code to disappear to the park where he would always buy chocolates to enjoy before going back home.

“Pempem” is my favourite nickname of all times, reminding me of those precious moments with my twin. I always thought Pempem meant butterfly, but recently I discovered the Mayan for butterfly was “Peepem”. However, I fell in love with this cute nickname and every time I hear it, it makes me smile, bringing back memories of flying high and tickling the sky with my feet, and then afterwards the most delicious chocolate with marshmallow. Combined with my family’s passion for chocolate this is how Pempem de Choc was born. I hope you enjoy it and even if it brings you a small smile of happiness my work will be done.

Share the whisper.
