History
Ginger Elizabeth Hahn grew up in Camino, California and attended the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. It was in New York that Ginger fell in love with the art and science of chocolate, while working for world-renowned chocolatiers Jacques Torres and Daniel Budd. In 2005, at the age of 24, Ginger opened the wholesale chocolate company Couture Chocolates by Ginger Elizabeth. The company allowed her to practice and showcase the talents and skills she had acquired, while continuing to learn and explore new ideas. By 2007 Ginger had decided to expand her business by opening her first retail location. The boutique chocolaterie would feature all things chocolate. In 2008, Ginger launched the retail store in Midtown Sacramento under the company's new name, Ginger Elizabeth Chocolates. In 2010, Ginger was chosen as a Top Ten Chocolatier in North America by Dessert Professional, the magazine for the pastry and baking professional.
