about our collaborator

Chocolate Makers & Chocolatiers
What’s the difference, and how do we partner together?
While chocolate makers craft chocolate from cocoa beans, chocolatiers use finished chocolate to create truffles, bonbons, and other confections.
Many of our chocolatier partners have collaborated with us since our earliest days, back when we were at the Noe Valley and Mission farmers' markets. When we first started, we turned to this food community for advice. We’ve shared work spaces, taste-tested recipes, traded equipment tips, and commiserated over the City’s crazy permitting process.
It’s an exciting time for the craft-chocolate community, and it wouldn’t be nearly as special without chocolate-maker-and-chocolatier collaboration and special relationships. Since we don’t add emulsifiers or additional cocoa butter, our chocolate is tricky to work with. As a result, making truffles or chocolate-covered confections can be especially challenging. Still, our collaborators remain undaunted, inventing new recipes and chocolate collections each year. We celebrate their talents and are thrilled to share their treats with you.
