For Parson, it’s Escazú’s “Piaroa
73 percent” — a wild harvested
cacao that is picked by the indig-enous
people of the Amazon and
then rowed by canoe for two days
to an area where it can ferment and
dry. For Jael Rattigan, it’s French
Broad Chocolate’s 53 percent dark
milk chocolate made from Brazilian
cacao. And Brent Peters satisfies
his Southern sweet tooth with his
Black Mountain Milk bar made
with goat’s milk.
With its focus on quality, ethical
sourcing and pure, intense flavors,
bean-to-bar chocolate is drawing
fans the same way artisanal coffee
and craft beer have. It’s still a tiny
part of the nation’s $17.7 billion
chocolate industry, but artisanal
chocolate makers intend to change
our appreciation and attention to
quality, one tasty bar at a time.
