Craft Chocolate

Premium Craft (Bean-to-Bar) Chocolate

Craft chocolate is chocolate that is handmade starting with raw cacao beans (that are sourced transparently and ethically) all the way to the finished chocolate - generally on a very small scale. It's also called "bean-to-bar" or "micro-batch" chocolate. The emphasis is on developing and complementing the unique flavor of the individual beans - many of which have been sourced from a single plantation ("single-origin" chocolate)  located within the chocolate growing regions of the world.

At the end of the week, after all the news has been digested, I look to ChefShop’s newsletter as my respite to life. On Sunday, I curl up in bed with my newsletter to forget about the weeks news, and think about romance. The romance of food!
