Chocolate Store

It’s summertime! While the weather’s beautiful, it makes shipping chocolate a lot more challenging. During the summer months, we’ll only be shipping out orders at the beginning of the week. This may mean that we hold your order for a few extra days. We’ll also be sure to package your order carefully with plenty of insulation. Please ensure that your order is shipped to an address where the package will not wait outside in the sun. Also, please feel free to send us any questions. Thanks!
Chocolate 101 – May 20th

We’ll hold Chocolate 101 at 740 Valencia on Monday, May 20th. The class will take place from 7-9 PM. This class is an all-around introduction to chocolate, including the different types of chocolate, their ingredients, and our chocolate-making process. We’ll taste chocolate in all of its unfinished and finished forms, taste our three single-origin bars, give you a tour of our space, and leave plenty of time for your questions. Space is limited to 14 people, but we’ll repeat this class each month. We hope you can come!

Cancellation Policy: These classes fill up, so please give us as much notice as possible if you can’t attend. If you order a ticket and are unable to make it, please let us know  at least 24 hours ahead of time and we will happily reschedule your ticket for a future class. Otherwise, we are happy to give you 10% discount on a future registration.

Gift Set – 3 Bars

All three single-origin bars packaged with a small ribbon. We find it is much easier to notice the difference between each bar if you compare each of them at the same time. This set makes it easy to do a small chocolate tasting. We recommend tasting the bars starting with the Patanemo, then the Cumboto, and finally the Madagascar.

Patanemo, Venezuela – 70%

Hand-harvested on a mountaintop and carried down by the farmers, these cocoa beans have been loved at every step. Greg and Caitlin just returned from a visit to the farm and are proud to report that the farmers are huge fans of Erica’s first batch. This rich chocolate bar has a roasty flavor reminiscent of peanuts.

All of our single-origin bars are made with just cocoa beans and sugar, no added cocoa butter, lecithin, or vanilla.

Cumboto, Venezuela – 70%

These beans from Cumboto, a small town in northern Venezuela, were farmed by the gregarious José Lugo and roasted with our lightest touch yet. Densely chocolatey and buttery upfront, Lisa’s first batch has hints of cinnamon and coffee that remind us of our café’s Mission Mocha.

All of our single-origin bars are made with just cocoa beans and sugar, no added cocoa butter, lecithin, or vanilla.

Ambanja, Madagascar – 70%

This bar is our current favorite. The beans come from the Akesson farm in Madagascar that Cam and Alice visited at the end of last year. When tasting, after a few seconds of a mellow chocolate flavor, you should notice a strong, fruity punch. At markets, people often ask how we added fruit flavors to the bar and we explain that these are actually the unique characteristics of the bean coming through. While everyone’s palate is different, we taste notes of citrus and berries — sort of like a mini-Starburst explosion in your mouth.

Roasted Cocoa Beans

Our Madagascar bar’s crazy fruit notes are present even straight from the bean, but here they show an acidic bite punctuating the nuttier undertones. For eating straight out of the shell, we roast these beans a little bit longer in order to mellow them out. We love these beans as a delicious snack by themselves or as an ingredient in recipes like banana bread and brownies.

To enjoy, squeeze lightly and roll the shell off in your hand, like you’re cracking a peanut. Watch out for the radicle – the dense stem at the very top of each bean.
