Ülker Bisküvi launched its operations 70 years ago in a small workshop in Eminönü, Istanbul, with only six or seven boilers, a small oven and three employees. Yet it is now the flagship of Yıldız Holding by both sales volume and profitability. At its plants in Istanbul, Ülker Bisküvi produces chocolate (Topkapı), chocolate and chocolate-coated biscuits (Silivri), biscuits (Gebze), and cakes (Esenyurt). Ülker Bisküvi also produces biscuits at its Ankara plant, as well as biscuits, cakes, crackers and chocolate at its Karaman plant.

At 9th & Larkin, we make bean-to-bar chocolate in small batches. Each batch is handcrafted with the highest quality cacao beans sourced from a single region, and using as little as two ingredients to achieve the purest flavor profile possible. Every one of our sumptuous chocolate bars is handcrafted to perfection. Starting with raw cacao beans, we carefully select, sort, roast, winnow, grind, refine, temper, mould and wrap each bar by hand.

The name Acalli (ah-CALL-ee) means "canoe" in Nahuatl, the same language that gave us the word "chocolate." We are chocolate makers, meaning we work from bean to bar. While our home is in New Orleans, cacao is by nature a tropical plant, and we source the cacao we use through direct relationships with farmers at origin. We chose a canoe for our logo to represent those things about chocolate that we love most: its way of connecting people in distant places, its elegant simplicity, and the promise of adventure and discovery in every new bar. Great chocolate is a collaborative effort between cacao growers and chocolate makers, and in that spirit our goal is to make bars that faithfully represent the work our partners do at origin. The flavors in our chocolate are not just the result of careful roasting and conching; they also represent careful attention during cultivation, harvest, and especially fermentation and drying. We hope that by highlighting the communities and cooperatives we work with and showcasing the flavors in their cacao, we can bring a little more recognition home to cacao growers themselves.

Quality is not a means to an end, but an integral part of our philosophy, from the careful process of attaining the precious camel milk, the meticulous selection of hand picked ingredients to the processing standards in our own manufacture.

Here we are highly generous with one aspect: time. The result is an incomparably exquisite taste that for Al Nassma stems from our unique blending of camel milk and geniune ingredients such as Bourbon vanilla, finest acacia honey and the highest grade cocoa beans.

Our story begins in the late 70s, when two young cooperatives, one located in the Apennines of the Marches region, the other in the Tuscan-Emilian Apenines, decided to pioneer a change in their methods of agriculture and farming. Back then (and still today), the move towards organic farming and bee breeding represented a new way, both ideal and concrete, of producing and offering delicious, healthy products that respect the environment and nature around us. We are responsible for the entire chain of production: from the fields where we choose the most suitable and traditional varieties of flora, to the production techniques that respect that quality of our raw materials, to the processing, which uses innovative technology to protect the natural aspects of our foods.

The Alter Eco project was born in 1998. At that time the ambition of Tristan Lecomte, founder of Alter Eco was already set up as a full and coherent project. The challenge: to enable people in rehabilitation to work in a small shop specialized in the sale of fair trade products, whose profits would fund a center of charitable associations. Today, 14 years after the creation of the first Alter Eco shop, our project supports 40 cooperatives in 25 countries, we have established a partnership with French farmers, we distribute organic and fair products in several European countries, North America and Japan, we offer in France Alter Eco products in nearly 4,000 retail outlets (also available in bulk in some stores), we analyze our environmental impact, are involved in projects to preserve tropical forests, and take heart of our involvement in education and public awareness of sustainable development.

In 2007, Frederick Schilling, founder/CEO of Dagoba Organic Chocolate, received by mail a box filled with cacao samples, sent by Diego Badaró, from Brazil. Amazed at the beauty and high quality of the beans, Frederick replied instantly, interested in working with Diego somehow. One month later, Frederick came to Bahia, where the two men soon realized that their journey together had just begun. This first contact, triggered by 100 cacao beans sent to the US, was the founding stone of what nowadays is AMMA CHOCOLATE, one of Brazil's major manufacturers of craft chocolate. Diego Badaró belongs to the 5th generation of a traditional cacao farming family from the South of Bahia. He's been bringing back the cacao tradition, by developing in his family's farms an organic cacao culture, and the results have found great success in the specialized market, both in Brazil and abroad.

Anthon Berg is one of the oldest chocolate manufacturers in Denmark. Founded in 1884, and later appointed official confectioner to the Royal Danish Court, Anthon Berg is one of the few companies to manufacture its own chocolate from scratch - from roasting to conching - which accounts for its superb quality and taste. Anthon Berg was acquired by the Toms Group in 1954 and was established in the USA in 2007.

Founded by Francesco Bonajuto in 1880. We begin with a mass of semi-ground cocoa that still contains its cocoa butter. The mass is heated to make it fluid, and at a precise temperature, it is mixed with castor sugar and spices (cinnamon or vanilla). The mixing is done with a "refiner", a modern-day replacement of the metate. The mixture is kept at a temperature that prevents the sugar crystals from melting (they remain an integral part of the chocolate bar). The final phase consists of spreading the mixture into forms, which will then be pounded to ensure that the chocolate takes the desired shape. This particular "cold working" of the chocolate excludes the phase of conching, which many think is the secret to keeping flavours alive that would otherwise disappear. The strength of this particular product is the simplicity of the technique and the fact that there is no addition of butter or other extraneous substances (vegetable fats, milk derivatives or lecithin). Bonajuto's chocolate is composed only of a mixture of cocoa, sugar and spices.

David and Leslie Senk opened their doors on the first of the new year 2015 from their small craft chocolate workshop in Milpitas, CA. They closed business in March 2020.

He transforms these into chocolate bars adding cane sugar and dried milk from the British Isles, conching and refining in house in Kent. Artisan du chocolat is one of the very few British artisan chocolatiers who produce chocolate (and chocolates) from ground cocoa beans instead of buying in already made couverture.

Blue Bandana Chocolate Maker is an award-winning line of single-origin chocolate bars created by Eric Lampman, head of R&D at Lake Champlain Chocolates and son of founder Jim Lampman. Eric's work with Blue Bandana reflects a desire to go deeper into the chocolate-making process. To forge direct-trade partnerships with growers and co-ops. And to improve cocoa quality by reinvesting in training and education at origin. The result is bean-to-bar chocolate that captures the distinctive terroir -- or taste of place -- of the land where the cocoa was grown. The History It all began with a trip Eric took to the Dominican Republic in 2009. There he experienced firsthand how cocoa was cultivated, harvested, fermented, and dried. Fascinated, he brought some beans back to Vermont and started experimenting with small test roasts, learning how to winnow, refine, conche -- discovering how to make chocolate from scratch.

Our process begins up in the Ecuadorean Andes mountains, in the center of the world, at latitude 00. There, the crystal clear waters begin to flow to form the magical Caoni River which is born in the untamed rainforest of Ecuador. Its waters then flow into the rich subtropical and tropical lowlands of Esmeraldas, Manabi and Los Rios, and irrigate and feed the small, old traditional cocoa bean plantations home of the unique Arriba cocoa trees where hundreds of native families use their ancestral knowledge to grow these beans. After the beans have been sun dried, our people carefully select the very best of them. Our master craftsmen create single-origin, dark chocolates that express the natural flavors, aromas and textures that only Arriba cocoa beans can provide.

Our mission at Chocolate Tree is to create fine flavour chocolate whilst protecting biodiversity and rewarding farmers with a true premium for their crops of heritage cacao varieties. We purchase cacao from farms in Peru, Colombia, Venezuela and Madagascar. These ultra premium cacaos have been fermented and dried to an exceptional standard by the growers at origin. Only through these careful post harvest processes can the true flavours of our unique chocolate be brought to life.

We take a perfectionist approach to our chocolate making, obsessively roasting, winnowing, grinding and conching the cacao in small batches. Our range includes some purist origin bars alongside some bars with inclusions and alternatives to dairy and cane sugar. We have won several International Chocolate Awards and we are recognised as one of the world's most passionate chocolate makers.

We also create a range of bars from organic Belgian couverture. Organic farming on small plantations is in fact the best way to preserve biodiversity and achieve the highest flavours. The pesticide free agriculture allows midges to thrive and fertilize the cacao flowers, thus helping the plants to create the cacao pods and beans from which the chocolate is made. Not only is this organic technique the best way to farm cacao, it is the only good use for a midge we have ever heard of!

In December 2009 we opened a classical yet contemporary chocolaterie at 123 Bruntsfield Place, in the boutique shopping district and much loved residential area of Edinburgh. We aim to provide a unique and comfortable atmosphere for you to explore the delights of fine flavour chocolate.

Chocovic has been manufacturing chocolate and cacao derivatives for all kinds of professional uses since 1872. Chocovic's origins can be traced to the city of Vic, in the province of Barcelona, where a small family business called Chocolates Arumi was set up. Its commitment to high quality service led it to create special blends for locals to suit their particular tastes. In 1977 the business was bought by a Spanish company, Nederland, which changed the name of the business to Chocovic and turned it into an industrial chocolate factory specialised in artisan pastry making and confectionery. In 2009, Chocovic entered the Barry Callebaut group, the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality cocoa and chocolate -- from the cocoa bean to the finished chocolate product. As such, the advantages of belonging to a large business group are combined with Chocovic's technical knowledge and experience.

Chocxo Bean to Bar Chocolatier is the brainchild of Richard Foley, a third generation chocolate guy. Richard literally bleeds chocolate.

We process them using the latest technology and highest quality raw materials in our Irvine Factory, resulting in a chocolate like no other. From this incredible liquid chocolate, we create our chocolate bars, our filled chocolates, chocolate bark, and other chocolate specialties.

DeVries Chocolate was America's pioneer micro producer of fine chocolate bars. Founded in 2005, the company was born of a hobby turned obsession; a chocolate-loving glass artist was transformed into a nationally-acknowledged chocolate artisan. On a trip to Costa Rica, Steve DeVries picked up some cacao beans with the idea of trying to make his own chocolate bars at home. The hobbyist was surprised to discover that his homemade chocolate, despite being quite rudimentary, was extremely complex and sophisticated in flavor. His experiment was enough to convince him to focus his efforts from transforming glass into art to creating edible gold from cacao beans. It is sad to report that De Vries has, at least temporarily, stopped making chocolate at this time.

Growing up in a family deeply involved in the confectionery arts, Cathy Brand-Beere began working with chocolate at the age of eight. She had always loved the creative process of making fine chocolates and remembers dreaming of opening a "real chocolate shop" when she grew up so she could always do something that she truly enjoyed. Throughout high school Cathy made and sold custom designed wedding cakes as a summer job, but it was her passion for confectionery arts that led her to open the first DeBrand chocolate shop in October 1987. The first DeBrand store was located on Wells Street in Fort Wayne in Cathy's childhood home, a historic 100+ year old home unfortunately no longer in existence. The name "DeBrand" came from the French prefix "De", meaning "from", and Cathy's last name, "Brand". Today, DeBrand employs nearly 100 people with our three shops in Fort Wayne and a mail order department which ships our chocolates all over the world. But rest assured, we will never outgrow our commitment to perfection! The quality and freshness of each chocolate remains our absolute top priority. We still use only the finest ingredients, whether they are imported from other countries or found fresh locally.

Gerardus Johannes Droste started a confectionery business in Haarlem (Holland) in 1863. The first Droste factory of the firm G.J. Droste opened its doors on August 2, 1890. Because of a lack of room, the factory was relocated to the Noorder Buiten Spaarne in 1891. Since 1891 Droste had been able to allocate the complete chocolate process in-house. The cocoa beans were stored in the loft, while sales took place in the retail store. It was in this plant were the production of cocoa and chocolate started. This waterside location was very favourable for Droste, enabling the delivery of raw materials and the transport of finished products by boat. In 1898 Droste was officially entitled to use the coat of arms of Queen-widow Emma. In 1961 a new cocoa-factory had been opened. In 1964 the factory received the "Royal" designation. Droste's new name became: Koninklijke Droste Fabrieken N.V. In 1975 N.V. the inheritor, Widow J. Van Nelle, took over the share capital of Droste. By the year 1977 Droste's ownership was transmitted to Standard Brands Incorporated. Because of the transmittal to an American company, the 'Royal' title had to be taken away from all Droste products. The name was then changed into Droste Fabrieken B.V. By the year 1985 Van Nelle separated itself from Standard Brands, which was, in turn, taken over by Nabisco. In 1986 the production of Droste was transferred to Vaassen, Gelderland. The old production location in Haarlem continued as Dutch Cocoa & Chocolate Company B.V. A new factory was opened in Vaassen, in 1988, where the products of Venz (chocolate sprinkles) were also made. It was also in this year that Van Nelle had been taken over by Sara Lee/D.E. Two years later the Dutch sugar- and food concern CSM, bought Droste. Since January 1, 1997 Droste was sold to the Swiss-based company Hosta. Venz moved to Koninklijke De Ruijter B.V. in Baarn. Droste B.V., as of now, is still situated as an independent company in Vaassen, Gelderland.

Owner -- Duffy Sheardown. Red Star Chocolate is a small artisan chocolate making company that produces Duffy's fine chocolate in Lincolnshire. We source the finest beans that we can find, working directly with the cocoa farmers or as close as we can get. We pay a premium for the finest beans so that the cocoa farmers realize that we appreciate the work they put into growing top quality beans and fermenting and drying them after the harvest. All of our bars are single origin -- they are made with beans from one harvest from one region of one country. The taste of each bar will very year-on-year: as the growing conditions change so the flavours slightly change.

Beans used for the production of El Ceibo's fine chocolates are grown by the farmers of El Ceibo in Alto Beni. Located 250 km from La Paz, Alto Beni is a region rich in natural resources and has a climate ideal for cocoa production. El Ceibo farmers grow their cocoa trees on 3 to 4 ha plots. Trees are cared for using organic standards and no chemical pesticides or fertilizers are used. After careful selection, the beans are then fermented and dried at El Ceibo's facilities in Sapecho under close supervision of El Ceibo's technical staff, where they become into our best chocolates.

An exceptional chocolate begins with the land. The most flavorful and aromatic cacao in the world grows in Venezuela. There, on small plantations in secluded coastal valleys, the grassy llanos, and the foothills of the Andes, generations of farmers have perfected the art of nurturing these delicate and coveted beans. Since 1929 El Rey has used only Venezuelan Cacao, fermented, sun-dried and processed with the most advanced technology. From this marriage of art and science are born premium chocolates that redefine world standards of excellence.

Each and every creature is essential to the balance of life on this planet. An estimated 74 species of insects, plants and animals become extinct every day, critically challenging the balance the earth struggles to maintain...

We make our chocolate in micro batches from the finest ethically sourced cacao and other ingredients that we can find. Chocolate's flavor depends first on its origin (genetics + terroir + farming practices + fermentation) and then on the chocolate-maker's skill, senses, and artistry (sort + roast + crack + winnow + grind + conche + temper + mold + lots and lots of tasting). Enna's mission is to learn the story of cacao, explore the full range of its complexity of flavors, and share this magic with you. The Enna logo emblem is a glyph of an oyster, used by the Mayans to represent zero in their ancient counting system. Zero is the starting point of any creative endeavor, resonating with our sense of adventure and our artistic approach to making chocolate. Oysters are native to New England, so this symbol also pays homage to cacao's Central American origins as well as our New England home.

David Menkes worked in the visual effects industry in Hollywood for over 18 years. His passion for food and chocolate in particular culminated in a visit to a cocoa plantation in St. Lucia in 2011. In 2012, David and Corey Menkes started Little Brown Squares, a chocolate blog dedicated to bean to bar makers. After being sent to the Northwest Chocolate Festival on behalf of Chocolate Connoisseur Magazine, they quickly realized there were no makers in Los Angeles and decided to change that. In March of 2014, David bought a small bag of cacao beans and roasted them in his toaster oven, hand-peeled the beans, and hand-ground them using a mortar and pestle. The resulting chocolate was terrible, but David was determined to continue. Eventually, the couple would acquire small tabletop melangers which could grind the beans for days at a time. Eventually, their landlord asked them to move the operation out of their apartment, and they moved into a shared commercial kitchen in West LA. There, they grew their tiny operation to a small factory, producing roughly 2,500 bars per month. They are currently looking to expand, purchase larger equipment and move into a larger dedicated space, and make decisions on financing.

Lonohana Estate Chocolate is located on the island of O‘ahu, Hawaii and is the result of two families’ (Seneca Klassen's and Lawrence Boone's) dream to create a vertically integrated chocolate company here in the United States. By controlling the entire product cycle, starting with our own Hawaii-grown cacao all the way through crafting small batches of world-class chocolate bars in Honolulu, we aim to share where this beloved food comes from, how it is grown and made.

We propagated our own cacao seedlings, planted our first trees in 2009, and now farm 14 acres of cacao by hand on the North Shore of O‘ahu. We harvest the fruit, use wild fermentations, and dry the beans, up on the farm. We then hand craft small batches of chocolate bars at our solar-powered factory in Honolulu.

From 2009 to 2014 we were exclusively a farming operation. It takes roughly 5 years before the trees begin to produce cacao pods and in order to make ferments optimal you need to have enough seed harvested together, so we took a plunge into the deep end with a decade-long planting regime that now includes 14 acres. Straddling the 21st parallel, our farm is one of the northern-most plantations in the world.

In addition to our specialty crops, you’ll find a wide variety of botanicals around our farm that influence the taste of our honey and chocolate.

I am Californian- born in Los Angeles, raised on a peach/plum/chicken farm in Central California and attended university in Berkeley where Alice Waters and ScharffenBerger Chocolate were my distractions from homework. Berkeley was the birth of the bean to bar craft chocolate movement and locavore movement and it happened at the same time I was studying Business and Latin American Literature. All of this influenced the type of human I would become. My first job was in marketing at the Le Cordon Bleu culinary school where I was exposed to the the world of gastronomy. I learned my chocolatier skills with Ewald Notter, Andrew Shotts, and Shawn Williams. In Los Angeles I was a chef instructor at the Summer Cooking Academy, and in 2005 I founded a confection workshop which featured flavors of Latin America made with Guittard Chocolate. I moved back to the San Francisco Bay Area and in 2011 established my retail location in Berkeley which was immediately featured as one of the best sweet shops in the world by Travel and Leisure Magazine. Later, I was named “Most Gifted Chocolatier” by the San Francisco International Chocolate Salon in 2013. I sold the retail location in 2013 to pursue a more intimate relationship with cacao growers, to become a chocolate maker with the amazing bean to bar artisans at Dandelion Chocolate, and to move to Brazil. -- Arcelia Gallardo

Mr. and Mrs. Robert, a French couple from Reunion Island, started a small artisanal chocolate company in 1940 in Toamasina, on the east coast of Madagascar. The chocolate factory transformed Madagascan cocoa from the vast plains of Brickaville (a sugar town lying 100 km from Tamatave). Around 1948, the family gave the company to a French settler who relocated the factory to Antananarivo, capital of Madagascar. Following the Malagasy Uprising and subsequent independence, the French settlers gradually left the Big Island and the nationalization of the economy began. In 1977, Robert Chocalaterie was owned by a French family by the name of Berger, who sold to a Malagasy business group run by the Ramanandraibe family. The Ramandraibe group is currently working closely with the farmers of Brickaville to rebuild local expertise in cocoa production.

Sirene Artisan Chocolate Makers hand craft small batches of direct trade chocolate in a custom chocolate workshop in Victoria, Canada. Our Bean-To-Bar technique is more art than science. We carefully source our beans from select farms and nurture each beautiful bean to its full chocolaty potential. We bring out the complex range of natural flavours inherent in each bean and transform it into the chocolate of your dreams. The universe is unfolding. Taylor Kennedy, founder of Sirene Chocolate, has been a globetrotter for most of his life. He has worked with The National Geographic Society in photography, writing and photo editing for more than 18 years now. His work brought him to remote countries with rich agricultural heritage where he began to make the connection between food and the growing demand for ethically sourced products. Toronto born, Kennedy received a double major in cell and molecular biology and economics from Tulane University in New Orleans and also studied finance at Cambridge University in England. He has resided in Toronto, Paris, Cambridge, New Orleans, Washington, and now calls Victoria home. With a life-long obsession of wanting to know how things work and why, Kennedy combined his business acumen, interest in sustainability, and love of food and the planet into Sirene Chocolate. As a specialty chocolate maker, Taylor is able to oversee production from the cacao bean to the bars on the shelves and feel good about each of the steps along the way. And secretly, he wanted a way showing his young family the world through chocolate. Currently his wife and two-year old twin daughters serve as official chocolate samplers while they look forward to their first plantation visits.

The Maloney brothers (Dominic, Nicholas and Daniel) were born and raised on the beautiful Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago. Growing up they were always surrounded by cacao trees and enjoyed eating chocolate made from the trees they grew and from the pods they picked. They brought their strong passion for chocolate to the United States, where they realized the most popular chocolate products did not have the same distinct taste they grew up on. After traveling back to their roots in Trinidad they realized that they wanted to combine their love for Trinidad & Tobago and New York City, which is reflected in their product: A unique bean to bar chocolate experience. They started Sol Cacao in 2015. Sol Cacao is an artisan “bean to bar” chocolate manufacturer that crafts single origin chocolate bars in the South Bronx (Port Morris). The company strives to create the finest quality of chocolate by having a thorough understanding and expertise associated with every step in the chocolate manufacturing process from growing the cacao pods to the actual crafting of the chocolate bars.

We work closely with our cacao suppliers who directly source the finest ethically grown and produced cacao beans. Each bean origin has its own unique flavor profile. We roast each origin to ensure its flavor will be developed to its fullest for your enjoyment. After cooling, we carefully crack the beans to remove the shells from the Nibs; the shells are donated to community gardens. The Nibs are poured into the conch where they are ground by granite wheels. The conching process further develops the flavor and produces the luscious mouth feel of our chocolate. We then age the chocolate according to bean origin until ITS time. This process creates the "sheen" and "snap" that is so important when eating a chocolate bar. Each bar is placed in a compostable cello inner wrapper, heat sealed, then placed into our uniquely designed box; please recycle.

The farm is located in the hills above Kapa'a, Kaua'i. Their cacao and vanilla are turned into finished bars by Dylan Butterbaugh on the Island of Oahu, Hawai'i.

Taza Chocolate, founded in 2006 by Larry Slotnick and Alex Whitmore, is unique among U.S. micro-producers. Instead of focusing on refined bars, Taza leaves its cacao in a more unadulterated form. The company makes rustic-style chocolate, as it was made from the creation of the first chocolate bar in 1847 (by the Fry Brothers in Bristol, England) until the invention of the conche in 1879. "Rustic style" means a certain amount of gritty texture, not from external sources but because the early processing was not sophisticated enough to break down all of the particles in the chocolate.

TCHO (pronounced "cho") gives California its second bean-to-bar company after Scharffen Berger, which arguably is responsible for initiating this small-scale bean-to-bar trend in America. TCHO was started by Timothy Childs, a space shuttle technologist, and Louis Rossetto, co-founder of Wired Magazine (the "T" stands for technology, the CHO for chocolate). Where TCHO also differs is in its marketing and product development strategy. Rather than hire a focus group to tweak a chocolate's flavor to perfection, or use their own palates, as the other microbatch producers do, TCHO conducts public "beta testing," a product development process that allows the purchasers to give feedback that the company uses to refine the product.

Scott & Michelle Moore founded Tejas Chocolate in 2011, the first and presently only "bean to bar" chocolate maker in Texas.

Mix the history & expertise with conscientiousness and you've got Terra Nostra Organic.

While honeymooning in California in April, Josh and Kristin Mohagen toured a chocolate factory in San Francisco. After returning home, the Mohagens began planning to start their own chocolate business. Shortly thereafter, Terroir Chocolate was born. Kristin graduated from Scottsdale Culinary Institute in 2005, where she focused on pastries. Starting her own business was something she had been dreaming of for a long time. Josh took some business classes in college and is starting his own financial planning business soon, so it seemed a perfect fit for the two to go into business together, with Kristin coming up with the ideas and creating the chocolate and Josh in charge of many of the business decisions. Currently a kitchen business, they hope to expand soon.

The origins of Chocolates Trapa date back to December of 1891, when a group of monks settled in the Trappist Monastery in Palencia and inaugurated the first chocolate factory. In 1960 the Cistercian monks sold the factory, along with all their old manufacturing formulas. In 1964 the company Chocolates Trapa was incorporated. Adapting to the changing markets, the chocolate factory started manufacturing bonbons in 1969. Today the company produces bonbons, bars and drinking chocolate.

Curiosity has driven Aaron Koch to do some wild things.... It made him leave his Singapore homeland and venture to the frigid waters of the Oregon coast. It led him to sail a boat through pirate territory in the Celebes Sea. A boat that later got struck by lightning. But the greatest thing curiosity guided him to do was work on the cacao farms of Hawaii. There, Aaron dug his hands into the dirt and discovered a lifelong passion. In the tiny treehouse he called home, an idea formed: a chocolate company that does justice to the craft and spirit of cacao farming. That uses only premium organic cacao, sustainably sourced direct from the farmers. Treehouse foregoes unhealthy substitutes in favor of simple, natural deliciousness.

Triangle Roasters began in 2018, the passion project of two couples sharing a friendship and a business. Joy and Joe Zernhelt and Jeana and Mikey Master have combined a passion for making a difference and roasting coffee and cacao.

We hope you love Valley Isle Chocolate as much as we do. Mahalo Nui Loa!

Originally founded as a premium chocolate mail order company in 1984 by Bob and Paige Leavitt, Vivra Chocolate today is the culmination of Bob's childhood in Paris visiting patisseries, Paige's traveling the world along the way, and various other careers, primarily in fashion. The original expedition in mail order chocolate was re-founded in 2010 as Vivra Chocolate, bringing 30 years of chocolate experience, fashion sense and French heritage to a new vision for chocolate, featuring smooth and refined chocolate matched with adventurous and fun flavors. For our Single Origin Bean to Bar we carefully source the finest beans from outstanding growing regions around the world, then hand select the beans and roast, crack, sort, winnow, grind, and then conch the chocolate in our Chocolate Studio until it meets our criterion for smooth and refined chocolate. Once the chocolate is smooth and flavorful, we temper the chocolate and then cast into bars. Our goal is to create smooth and enjoyable chocolate while retaining the best flavors representative of each bean growing region. We believe no chocolate meant to be enjoyed should be astringent, dry or grainy which means some sources never become chocolate bars.

For over a century, until its closure in 1996, the Waialua Sugar Company in the town of Waialua, on the North Shore of Oahu, was home to one of the largest sugarcane plantations in the state of Hawaii. The North Shore is also the original location of Dole Food Company's pineapple growing and processing operation established by James Dole in 1901. Several generations and many thousands of immigrants from China, Japan, Korea, Portugal, and the Philippines came to work and live in the plantation towns and camps, raising their children and making Hawaii their home. With increasing globalization of agriculture, an economic need to diversify arose and culminated in the mid 1990s. With the closure of the sugarcane plantation in 1996 and in response to a growing consumer demand for distinctive, high quality Hawaiian grown products, Dole initiated a program of diversified agriculture to assist displaced workers while expanding the local market with new products. Crops were selected and planted to take advantage of new, emerging markets and products included papaya, mango, tropical flowers, and specialty crops such as coffee and cacao. Mr. David Murdock, Chairman of Dole Food Company, was especially interested in the healthful antioxidant benefits of coffee and cacao. Waialua Estate Coffee and Cacao is dedicated to this vision of healthy, nutritious food products and the continued practice of diversified agriculture on the North Shore of Oahu.

The inventor Josef Zotter has constantly invested in his products. He has been involved in fair trade since 2004, in 2005 his company converted to organic and in 2006 he opened his own Chocolate Factory. Since the opening of the Chocolate Factory Josef Zotter has ranked among the few quality chocolate makers around the world whose chocolate production processes are located under the same roof: From the roasting of the cocoa beans via the rolling up to the finishing touches in the conching plant everything is carried out with a high degree of sensitivity. In this way Zotter clearly positions himself against standardized mass production and the concentration of the chocolate market. In his Chocolate Factory there is no run-of-the-mill processing.
