How We Crafted a Bar That Reflects Marriott

We get a lot of requests for custom corporate chocolate. But at Marsatta, we are incredibly selective. For us, customization is not just about printing a logo on a box. It's about building something meaningful. A product that tells a story, reflects a brand’s identity, and leaves a lasting impression.
That’s why, when Marriott Torrance Redondo Beach reached out with their vision for a strawberry-infused chocolate bar, we knew we had something special on our hands.
They weren’t just looking for a gift. They were looking for something that felt like them. Something that tied into their location, their guests, and their experience.
What we discovered during those early conversations set the tone. The hotel was built on land that once grew strawberries. That detail shaped everything that followed.

The Making of Strawberry Fields
This bar didn’t happen overnight. It was the result of weeks of collaboration. Back and forth between our team and Marriott.
One of the first requests? Make it vegan.
So we went to work. We rebuilt our white chocolate using an organic coconut-based binder that delivered a creamy, smooth texture without using dairy. Then we infused real strawberries directly into the chocolate, giving it a natural blush color and bright berry flavor.
But we didn’t stop there. We topped the bar with hand-placed slices of dried strawberry for visual and textural contrast. Every bar was finished with care, just like the thoughtful touches in Marriott’s front lobby.

Designed to Reflect Identity
Even the packaging was a process. Every element, from the typography to the tone of the copy, was reviewed and refined to reflect Marriott’s style and story.
This wasn’t our bar. It was theirs. And that distinction matters.
Because when we take on a custom project, it becomes a reflection of the people we are partnering with. Our job is not just to make great chocolate. It’s to listen, to interpret, and to deliver something that makes a statement.

Customization, the Marsatta Way
Our corporate orders are rare for a reason. We say yes only when the story feels right.
Strawberry Fields is more than a chocolate bar. It’s a piece of Torrance’s history, reimagined in edible form. And it captures everything we believe a true collaboration should be.
If you are looking for custom chocolate that does more than look good in a gift box, let’s talk. Just know, we’ll ask the hard questions. Because we’re not here to mass produce.
We’re here to create something unforgettable.
