Bean-to-Bar Chocolate producers

This page will be a ungoing effort to list all the artisan bean to bar producers I encounter during my researches. The focus is on chocolate makers who put quality and taste before quantity. There might be even chocolate makers included that don’t make the actual chocolate themselves, but work together closely with other chocolatiers to create stunning results.

I’ll list them by nation of origin and I’ll indicate if I’ve reviewed any of their products. This list will keep expanding, as I’m fairly certain it will be almost impossible to get them all, but hey, you can’t blame a guy for trying. So here we go! May my work help you to discover little treasures!

Click on any name and you’ll find their website.

A special thanks goes to “The Ultimate Chocolate Blog” – for allowing me to share their collection of Canadian Bean To Bar Chocolate makers. Visit them for their view and news on fine chocolate!

Another special thanks to “Wattwurmnashi.com” for insight on the Japanese bean to bar world.
