A decade later, he opened a second Chocolate Salon in Naples, Fla. And in 2012, Artisan Gelato by Norman Love opened next to the Chocolate Salon in Fort Myers.
A universal love for chocolate first inspired Love to become a chocolatier. After learning the craft of pastry-making in France, Love served as executive pastry chefs for many luxury resorts including The Beverly Hills Hotel and The Ritz-Carlton. He continued his career with The Ritz-Carlton as corporate executive pastry chef where he oversaw global pastry and baking operations.

Chocolatier and Pastry Art and Design magazines named him one of the country’s top 10 pastry chefs in 1996 and 1997. In 1999, he led the U.S. team to a bronze medal in the biennial Coup du Monde de la Patisserie (World Cup of Pastry) competition in Lyons, France, which featured the top pastry chefs from 18 nations.
In addition to annual new and limited edition holiday flavors, Love launched Norman Love Confections BLACK, an ultrapremium line of intensely dark chocolates featuring rich origin chocolates from five of finest growing regions in the world. He also unveiled the first Norman Love Confections BLACK extension product—Norman Love Confections BLACK Sipping Chocolate—inspired by the European tradition. Other chocolate specialties include NormanLove Potion, Love Origins and S’more Love, to name a few.
Since founding Norman Love Confections, Love has received tremendous national and international recognition. A highly respected consumer rating publication has recognized the company 13 times since 2006 including six times as the best ultra-premium chocolates in the nation. In February 2014, this publication recognized NLC in its Best Buy for Special Chocolates for Valentine’s Day.
