Why Bonboiak?
Basque is an isolated language that means “not related to any other”. Bonboiak which originally comes from the Basque or Euskara language translates to "bombones" in Spanish. Txokolatea bonboiak translates to Chocolate Bonbons. I wanted to create a unique way on viewing chocolate worldwide. I was inspired by my grandfather due to the language coming from his family roots.
Smooth textures, and warm sensations that chocolate brings. Many people may view chocolate as being old fashioned or non-original. That is why I have come to bring back the happiness and fulfillness of chocolate on everyone’s life.
