Single Origin: discover the world through taste
One global standard. Endless creative possibilities.
Single Origin chocolates are the ultimate expression of terroir. Sourced from specific regions, these chocolates carry distinct flavor profiles shaped by local climate, soil, and farming traditions. We gently roast these beans to preserve their true identity, giving you a palette of flavors ranging from vibrant fruitiness to deep, roasted intensity.
For the artisan, this means clarity, consistency, and character. Whether you need a high-fluidity chocolate for ultra-thin enrobing or a textured profile for a signature ganache, our Single Origins are calibrated to support your specific technical needs.
