RUBEN’S STORY & THE CHOCOLATE TURKEY

Johann Georg Hochleitner, the man behind the lactose-free chocolate turkey, was born into a traditional pastry and confectionery family in Austria. George, as his American friends call him, became internationally known for his very creative and original chocolate ideas. His wide-ranging innovations include the first sheep milk chocolate, goat milk chocolate, buffalo milk chocolate, and even camel milk chocolate.

Over the past few years, George loved to celebrate Thanksgiving for its meaning and the sharing of family values. He ardently wished to surprise his friends on this holiday.  The idea was to combine his flair for chocolate, his wish for a surprise, and the traditional symbol of Thanksgiving.

But there was a twist. George’s children are lactose intolerant. George made it his mission to develop a great tasing, cream milk, and at the same time lactose-free chocolate. This would serve as the basis for the ultimate holiday product and prototype for a Thanksgiving chocolate turkey. George presented the prototype to his children and friends as gifts. They absolutely loved the turkeys.
