Chocolate/Cocoas

Guittard Chocolate Company is one of only ten chocolate makers in the U.S. and one of few that works directly with growers, long before harvest. Whether working with the bold and traditional, or the unique flavors and characteristics of rare heirloom varieties, Guittard is constantly searching for that elusive blend or single origin bean from which to develop a whole new and exciting chocolate experience. In the quest for excellence, experts from Guittard travel the world, working closely with growers to assess the development of individual crops and to oversee the fermentation and drying process of the cacao beans.
