Have you ever wondered how chocolate gets made. It starts by drying the cocoa beans produced from plants in their country of origin. The beans are then exported to chocolate manufacturers worldwide for processing.
Bean to bar chocolate manufacturers like TCHO make chocolate directly from the cocoa beans. Chocolatiers like Purdy's melt their bars from these manufacturers.
Single origin chocolate refers to chocolate bars made from beans from a specific region or country, thus having a distinctive flavour, much like how fine wines are distinguished. I found some of this chocolate at Purdy's chocolatier in Canada. They use TCHO single origin craft chocolate to make these bars.

Purdy's sell 3 of these single origin bars for $15, or $5.25 each. Here are the ones I tried. Single origin chocolates tend to be very dark chocolate and can be bitter, but I liked all of these. The Ghana one is a milk chocolate. The Peru one has cocoa nibs. My favourite was Ecuador.

They sell these at our health food store, they are a bit pricey but the quality is exceptional I’ve heard. Beautiful packaging,
wow, i really like chocolate, whatever sweet chocolate, the best
Nice post, I want some chocolate! I am not a huge fan of dark chocolate, I find it too bitter at times, but I can go up to 65%. I think my fave would have been the Ghana!
Yum.
Fun:)
I used to love chocolate, but now I don't really care for it because it tastes too sweet.
That's really cool learning all that.
Nothing beats German chocolate, out of all that I've tried. I'm pretty sure Germany doesn't actually grow the stuff, but they sure know what to do with it.
me too
