Guittard American Chocolates & Chocolate Bars
In the 1850’s, Etienne Guittard embarked on an arduous journey from France to America. It was during the California Gold Rush, and in just a few short years, while still in his twenties, this adventuresome Frenchman struck gold on the rough and tumble streets of early San Francisco.
An experienced chocolate maker, Etienne had brought delicious French chocolate to trade for mining supplies, but soon discovered that wealthy miners were willing to pay premium prices for this elegant treat. Etienne sailed back to Tournus, France, where he worked in his uncle's chocolate factory until he could afford to buy his own chocolate making equipment. In 1868, he returned to San Francisco and opened Guittard Chocolate on Sansome Street.

Amano Chocolate
Amano is dedicated to creating some of the world's most exquisite single origin chocolate through traditional techniques. Amano means “by hand” and “they love” in Italian, and that describes the care and perfection that Amano brings to chocolate and in turn to the people who savor it. That is why it is also called artisan chocolate.
Amano Chocolate sources only the world's very best beans and ingredients. Amano visits the plantations, buys from the growers, and when necessary works with them to improve their skill in properly growing, fermenting and drying the cacao beans to meet Amano exacting standards.
Through working with small, carefully controlled batches and lots of love and attention, Amano Chocolate seek not to be the largest chocolate company, simply to make the very best chocolate humanly - or heavenly - possible.
Patric Chocolate
Patric is an American craft chocolate company that makes chocolate from scratch -- from the cocoa bean. Built upon chocolate maker Alan “Patric” McClure‘s passion for fine chocolate, Patric has gone from little more than a dream to a respected artisan chocolate maker in only a few short years.
Scharffen Berger American Chocolates & Chocolate Bars
What else would bring two long term friends together in a business venture but a passion for chocolate? Retired doctor, Robert Steinberg and winemaker, John Scharffen Berger decided just to do so.
Robert Steinberg traveled to Lyons, France where he learned the art of pure chocolate making. Taking this information he approached his friend, John Scharffen Berger former owner of Scharffen Berger Wineries.
In 1996, the two began combining their knowledge and skills, researched different beans, experimented till they produced a consistently wonderful chocolate.
Continuing with their small batch process they have quickly grown to a thriving business that has been a culinary adventure.
Taza Chocolate
Taza, an American chocolatier located in Somerville MA, crafts a Mexican chocolate-styled stone ground chocolate from bean to bar. Their story began when Taza founder Alex Whitmore took his first bite of stone ground chocolate while traveling in Oaxaca, Mexico, and came home so inspired that he decided to start a chocolate factory. Fueled by a passion for Mexican chocolate traditions, he learned to hand-carve the granite millstones that Taza uses today to grind cacao into rustic, organic dark chocolate that bursts with bright, bold flavor and texture.
Through their Direct Trade Certified Cacao program, Taza Chocolate cultivates face-to-face relationships with farmers. By working together directly, they can source the highest quality cacao possible, while paying their farmers a premium above the Fair Trade cacao price.
Potomac Chocolate
Based in Woodbridge, VA, Potomac Chocolate was founded in 2010, and is the first bean-to-bar chocolate maker in the Washington, DC area.
From Potomac’s workshop, they make their fine chocolate using a traditional, artisan approach. Hand-crafting every bar, Potomac Chocolate works to coax out only the best flavors from the cacao bean in every step of the process—from roasting, cracking and winnowing the cacao beans, refining and conching, to tempering and molding the final bars. In order to highlight the beans’ flavor, their chocolate is made from the bare minimum of ingredients: cacao beans and sugar, with no added vanilla, cocoa butter or emulsifier.

Blommer Chocolate Company American Chocolates
Blommer Chocolate is a fully integrated chocolate and cocoa manufacturer serving customers around the world. Our company was founded in 1939 in Chicago, Illinois by Henry Blommer, Sr., along with his brothers Al and Bernard. By 1948, the business warranted further expansion. They branched out nationally with the addition of Blommer Chocolate Factory of California in Los Angeles. In 1952, Blommer purchased the common stock of Boldemann Chocolate of San Francisco.
Both the southern California and San Francisco operations were consolidated in 1970 when a new facility was built in Union City, California. We expanded once again to meet the demands of increasing business when we built a new plant in East Greenville, Pa in 1980 and again this year when we added 85,000 square feet to our East Greenville facility. The company’s three factories are located strategically across the United States giving us the unique ability to respond quickly to our customers’ needs.
