WE MAKE CHOCOLATE
We're Dandelion Chocolate, a bean-to-bar chocolate maker in San Francisco's Mission District. For over 10 years, we've been making single-origin dark chocolate from only two ingredients: cocoa beans and organic sugar.

Two Ingredients.
That’s It.
Since our earliest days, we've focused on bringing out the nuances within really good cocoa, using only two ingredients: ethically sourced, well-fermented, carefully roasted beans and organic cane sugar.
To allow the most flavors to shine through, we don't add cocoa butter, soy lecithin, vanilla, flavorings, or preservatives—all commonly used in chocolate making.
We Visit Each Origin
We have found that good relationships are absolutely essential to procuring consistently good flavor. That’s why, year after year, we strive to strengthen our relationships with cocoa producers by traveling to each origin. We work closely with the producers who grow, ferment, and dry the single-origin cocoa beans we source, so we can be confident we’re sharing some of the best and most distinctive cocoa with you.
“Instead of using additives and strange, unpronounceable ingredients to alter the flavor of its chocolate, [Dandelion] relies on the distinct taste of the beans.”
