Occultier is a high-end American chocolatier that specializes in various types of specialty chocolates and confections with a dark conceptual twist. The company takes inspiration from esoteric beliefs and hidden mythology to provide an unusual but tantalizing experience for customers who desire a more exotic approach to sweets. Occultier, a portmanteau of the words “Occultism” and “Chocolatier,” evokes spirituality, paranormal, and esoteric knowledge that extends beyond reason and intention.
