Your image of a chocolate factory is probably much like ours: a Wonkaish place where huge vats of boiling liquids get pumped through pipes and widgets until it finally emerges as chocolate. This isn’t so far from how most commercial chocolate is made. Luckily, one of the world’s most lovable foods is sometimes made in a truly loveable way. This 100% organic chocolate is crafted from bean to bar in a solar-powered workshop deep in Grenada’s lush rainforest. Because the factory is so close to where the beans are actually grown, the artisans can carefully control every step of its transformation. They make their chocolate in small batches, adding only fresh organic cane sugar, organic vanilla, and GMO-free soy lecithin, leading to an intensely rich flavor, perfect snap, and velvet texture.
