The Zest

Valentine's Day Chocolate Advice from Norman Love


Listen Later

If you’re gonna do an episode about Valentine's Day chocolates in Florida , then there’s just one man for the job—and not because his last name happens to be Love. Norman Love is the founder of Norman Love Confections, a Fort Myers-based candy company that specializes in chocolates that look as good as they taste. I chatted with Norman about how to choose chocolates for that special someone, somebody you barely know at all or just to treat yo’self. Norman also discussed how he got into the dessert biz and the challenges of running a chocolate company in hot, humid Florida.
