"Bean to bar" literally means from bean to bar. It’s an artisanal approach where every stage of chocolate-making – from carefully selecting cocoa beans to crafting the final bar – is handled by the chocolate maker, ensuring complete traceability, exceptional quality, and a distinctive taste.

Unlike industrial chocolate, typically mass-produced with standardized blends, Bean to bar chocolate emphasizes the beans’ origin, their unique terroir, and carefully preserves their natural flavor characteristics.

Our beans are sourced from various countries in Africa and South America. We work directly with dedicated producers, often through direct trade, ensuring fair compensation for farmers and sourcing only the highest-quality beans, all grown with respect for people and the planet.

Bean to bar chocolate is crafted through a meticulous process that combines expert knowledge and technical skill. 

• Selecting the beans: we source rare origins from plantations dedicated to careful, environmentally respectful cocoa cultivation.
• Roasting: beans are gently roasted to unlock the unique aromas of each terroir.
• Cracking: the shells are removed, leaving behind the prized cocoa nibs.
• Grinding and conching: nibs are ground into a silky cocoa mass, then conched to develop smoothness and deepen the flavor.
• Tempering and molding: the chocolate is carefully crystallized to achieve its shine, snap, and fine texture, before being molded into bars.

As a chocolate maker and roaster, we go beyond market prices to source cocoa beans, supporting small local producers and ensuring a truly exceptional tasting experience, elevated by our artisanal craftsmanship and love for innovation.

Currently, our Bean to Bar chocolate bars account for around 25% of our chocolate range. In the near future, we aim to expand this initiative to include our chocolate boxes and chocolate-based pastries.
