Great chocolate starts long before our kitchen. We choose sustainably grown cacao and stand behind the farmers who grow it, because the beans that make our chocolate today are only here if those farms thrive tomorrow.
Whenever we can, we gather from California's seasonal harvest, selecting the finest fruits, nuts, berries, and other produce from local farmers markets. Everything is still made the old-fashioned way, by hand in small batches at our Los Angeles atelier, powered by solar-offset energy. It's chocolate made the way it used to be. We think you can taste the difference.
