JEMS
W
e are a small family owned, family
operated business that specializes in
chocolate treats and events. We have been
in business for the past few years with our
top selling products being the chocolate
dipped strawberries, chocolate covered
Oreos, chocolate marshmallow pops and
Edible Fruit Arrangement. Although we
have been happy with our business, it is not what we started JEM's
to be. As such, over the past year, we have been actively seeking
funding to expand our operations to start manufacturing chocolate
truffles, bon-bons, bars and other chocolate delicacies.
In the meantime, we help host and create chocolate themed events
like Chocolate and Wine Pairings, Chocolate Workshops and
Chocolate Tastings. These events can be done for private or
corporate occasions but we try to host them as often as we can at
various locations around Barbados. To give you an idea of what we
do, in October 2014 will be having a Sweet Indulgence Fundraising
Cocktail Party featuring the Arts, Wine and of course Chocolate.
This event will feature several local artists, poets, dancers and
fashion designers as well as delicious food, dessert and wine
stations for guest to enjoy as we raise funds for The Girlfriend's
Foundation and conduct a food drive for the Barbados Vagrants and
Homeless Society (BVHS). You can have a better idea by visiting

JEM's Gourmet Chocolates believe that in order to be successful,
we ought to be a business that gives back to the society we live in.
Therefore, we have vowed to be a business that supports women
and family based charities. JEM's Gourmet Chocolates hopes to
become the premier chocolate manufacturer and event business in
Barbados, and hopes to start production before the year ends. To
see more of what we do visit us at www.facebook.com/
JEMChocolates.
JEM's Gourmet Chocolates is managed by self-taught chocolatier
Melissia Batson who is also a wife and mother of two beautiful
children. Many people have asked Melissia why JEM's instead of
GEM's but here's why...J for Junior (husband) and Jeremy (son), E
for Erika (daughter) and of course M for Melissia.
We hope that you have learned a bit more about who we are and
what we do and we hope to see you at our event in October!
