Welcome into our Chocolate World!
We specialize in making Organic Bean-to-Bar Chocolate while celebrating Nature's Diversity
Pure Chocolate is made with the Seeds (Beans) of Cacao (a big fruit growing on trees in the healthy tropical forests around the globe in the Cocoa Belt: a band located within +20º/-20º from the Equator line).
Once roasted, cracked, refined and mixed with Sugar it becomes pure Chocolate.
Chocolate (minus) Sugar = Cacao: a highly nutritious food and among the most powerful antioxidants.
~ High Value Proposition ~
For Transparency, Sustainability and Top Quality reasons we choose to Source Organic Fine Flavor Cacao exclusively from Central and South America (excluding Brazil).

We also only select Single Origin Cacao (Single Region, Single Cooperative or Single Estate) to contribute in supporting Authentic Fair Trade by paying the highest prices in short supply chain for Organic Cacao of Diverse Fine Flavor Varieties.
At present we do Not Support any Fair-Trade Marks (Logos) as there is still confusion and no trustworthy global standard has emerged yet:

After testing different Organic Cacao Varieties we then select only One Fine Flavor Cacao per Country (as opposed to Bulk Cacao).
We Sort Cacao Beans by hand, we then Roast, Winnow, Refine, Conch, Temper, Mold and Pack our Chocolate Bars by hand with Passion.
We Craft our Chocolate in Micro-Batches (less than 80lbs) and It takes around five days just to prepare a full batch of chocolate.
We currently offer around 20 different Chocolate Bars ranging from 60%, 70%, 75%, 85% to 95%.
