Chocolate companies that grow their own cocoa!
November 11, 2008
Having compiled information for our 2-part article on how chocolate is made, I came to appreciate how much time and effort is really involved.
I watched a documentary series a while ago on Channel 4 called “Willie’s Wonky Chocolate Factory“, and it showed the process of seeing the whole process through from beginning to end in a very interesting way. Click here to view some photos.
So I wondered how many companies that “make chocolate” actually go the whole way from bean to bar? I came accross a website that lists some of them (it has about 50+ companies listed so far) – it makes interesting reading! Click here for a bit more detail of the process of one of these companies. It would be interesting to taste and compare the differences between some of these chocolate products, and those produced by the commercial giants!
If you have tried any chocolate from a company that actually grows it’s own cocoa, I would be interested to hear what you think!! Please post comments below.
