BQ&S America Corp

Founder's Story

BQ&S Gourmet Chocolate began with a simple idea shared by a young Black woman and her husband: create a chocolate experience that paired beautifully with adult beverages and premium cigars while making every moment feel more special. What started as a search for the perfect complement to wine, bourbon, whiskey, and cigars soon became a passion for developing bold, memorable chocolate flavors that people could enjoy personally or share with others.

Together, they turned that idea into a growing business built around quality, connection, and celebration. BQ&S Gourmet Chocolate was created to help customers slow down, savor the moment, and transform an ordinary gathering into an elevated experience. Whether enjoyed at home, shared with friends, paired with a favorite beverage or cigar, or presented as a gift, every product reflects the company’s promise: Elevate Your Experience.
