Ben, one of our chocolate makers and the son of our founders, spent a week in Belize walking the farms, cracking open fresh cacao pods, and stirring fermenting beans alongside the people who grow them.

Its bean-to-bar operation now produces chocolate in Covington, Kentucky, using cacao from selected growing regions around the world. This is an important distinction: the finished chocolate is made in the United States, while imported cacao is part of the ingredient supply.
