Innovative Ingredients

Making fine chocolate is truly a form of culinary art, and our featured selections are about as far away from mass-produced chocolate (which are often made with animal fat fillers, very little cocoa, and lots of artificial ingredients) as you could possibly imagine. Many of our featured chocolatiers push the boundaries of creativity with ingredients such as cardamom, black tea, wasabi, sea salt, caramelized ginger, and much more. Such ingredients are often used sparingly to accent, but to never dominate the unmatched flavor of top-quality chocolate.

Taste the Difference of Artisanal Chocolate

True, small batch artisanal chocolate products are created with blends of the highest quality cocoa beans that have been ripened, fermented, and roasted to perfection. You will taste the difference. Some of our featured chocolatiers, such as Mindo Chocolate Makers™, control the whole process of chocolate making – even the harvesting of the cacao pods. They closely control bean selection, fermentation, drying and roasting, before grinding the cocoa nibs, conching their chocolate, and ultimately hand-making each of their delicious chocolate confections.

Our 5-Point, Quality-Driven Chocolate Selection Process Sets Us Apart

Our product selection process is the cornerstone of our success and is what sets us apart from other chocolate clubs. You will taste the difference. Here’s how we do it:

1. We’ve Partnered with Zingerman's®, a Food Market Top-Rated by Zagat’s

We work closely with Zingerman's® Delicatessen to select our featured chocolatiers. Zingerman's® has been selling hand-made, artisan chocolates since 1982 and was acknowledged by Food and Wine Magazine as 1 of 25 of the World’s Best Food Markets.

2. Great Ingredients Make Great Chocolate

At the heart of all great chocolate are great ingredients, and no one knows that better than Zingerman's®. Together, we look for traditionally made, hand-crafted chocolates based on quality, creativity and fresh wholesome ingredients.

3. Innovative Ingredients Deliver New Taste Sensations

We look for chocolatiers push the boundaries of creativity, incorporating ingredients such as cardamom, pear black tea, wasabi, sea salt, and caramelized ginger which are often used sparingly to accent, but to never dominate complex chocolate flavor profiles.

4. Local Ingredients Create Bold, Exciting Flavors

Our featured chocolatiers often make use of locally produced ingredients to create signature confections. Lake Champlain Chocolates, for example, uses Vermont-made maple syrup, honey, cream and butter.

5. We Work Closely with Eco-Conscious, Small Batch Chocolatiers

Our chocolatiers are passionate, dedicated to the development of eco-friendly fair trade practices, and often control their chocolate making processes from bean to bar. Mindo Chocolate Makers™, for example, owns and operates facilities in Ecuador to ensure their ability to closely control bean selection, fermentation, drying and roasting.

My husband Evan got me a subscription to your gourmet chocolate of the month club as a gift. It was one of the best gifts I've ever gotten - our whole family looks forward to each month's new arrival of chocolates. Thank you for bringing so much joy into our home each month!
