Spirulina, featured in our Renewal Truffle, has long been admired for its naturally occurring nutrients, antioxidants, and vibrant energy. Often associated with vitality and renewal, spirulina is believed to support overall wellness, nourishment, and gentle restoration for the body.

Paired with chocolate and intention, Renewal was created as a reminder that rest is not weakness… it is preparation for what comes next. 🍫✨

🌹✨ Rose petals, found within our Beloved Truffle, have long been cherished for their gentle beauty and soothing energy. Traditionally associated with the heart, rose petals are believed to encourage emotional balance, softness, self-love, and calm reflection. Rich in natural antioxidants and delicate floral compounds, they bring both elegance and intention to every bite.

At Velah & Co., we believe chocolate should not only be tasted… but felt. 🍫✨

Ginger has long been cherished for its warming, protective nature. Known to support digestion, circulation, and overall wellness, this beautiful root carries a gentle fire that awakens the body and comforts the soul.

You’ll find it in Fortitude, one of our sacred truffles at Velah & Co., created in honor of my father and the quiet strength he carried through life.

Because sometimes healing doesn’t arrive loudly. Sometimes it arrives wrapped in chocolate.

The May Edition of The Chocolate Letter is here, beloved. 🐝🍋
This month, we are stepping outside into the sweetness of spring, into the hum of the bees, the brightness of lemon, and the life-force of bee pollen.

Our truffle of the month is Angel's Breath, velvety white chocolate kissed with bee pollen and lemon. Clean. Bright. Uplifting. Like a morning you have been quietly praying for.

Inside this edition, the medicine of the bees, a May practice to ground you in the season, and a very special dedication to every mother who has ever loved without condition.
This one is tender. This one is for you.

“In Chocolate City, the power of three is not a concept… it’s a way of living.

Every creation holds three layers.

The body, what you taste.
The mind, what you understand.
The soul, what you feel.

Nothing is made without all three being in harmony.

And when I create my truffles…

I’m not just thinking about flavor.

I’m asking…

What will this do for your mind?
What will this do for your body?
What will this do for your soul?

Because in Chocolate City…

Nothing is complete until all three are present.

On June 9, 2026, a date made sacred by the birthday of the woman who shaped me, Sherry Hawkins - The Chocolate Muse - will release The Chronicles of Chocolate City: Velah Returns. This is not just a book launch. It is a homecoming. A tribute. A moment where the earthly and the eternal meet on the page. Hazel's birthday becomes the day her daughter's most personal creation steps into the world - a fantasy universe born from 40 years of chocolate, legacy, and love. Velah Returns on June 9th. And everything begins.

Chocolate by Candlelight | Episode 3
Tonight I chose wine over cacao... and I am keeping company with Shaded Breeze - one of my most sacred truffles, made with Shatavari and macadamia nuts from the 7 Sacred Cycles Collection.
But before you indulge in anything sacred, you deserve to know exactly what you are eating.
In Episode 3, we are talking about two of the most ancient botanicals in my collections - Mugwort, the Mother of Herbs, and Shatavari, the Queen of Herbs in Ayurvedic tradition.
I get into their ancient roots, their gifts, and their precautions - because this is responsible chocolate. This is intentional living.
If you are pregnant, nursing, diabetic, or taking any medications, please consult a medical professional before indulging in these collections.
Chocolate by Candlelight is filmed at night, by candlelight, with love.
