Where do you get your cocoa beans and sugar?

We do our best to work directly with the producers who grow, ferment, and dry the cocoa beans we buy. We travel to origins as frequently as possible to learn about our producers’ best practices, exchange feedback, and make sure that high standards of quality and sustainability are met. We pay a premium far above the world market price and work to strengthen our relationships year after year in order to maintain our collective commitment to sharing the best and most distinctive cocoa with you. We also publish an annual sourcing report where you can get to know our producer partners.

While our beans come from all over the world, our organic cane sugar only comes from Brazil: specifically, from the Native Green Cane Project, a pioneering sustainable sugarcane farm and producer located approximately 350 kilometers northwest of São Paolo.

Do you have any vegan or gluten-free options?

All of our single-origin, bean-to-bar chocolate — bars, Large Chips, Hot Chocolate Mixes, and ground Chef's Chocolate — is vegan and gluten-free; and we offer several tasty vegan confections in our online store as well. (Have you tried Feve’s delicious Chocolate-Covered Caramelized Almonds?) Full ingredient information is provided in each product description.

On the café front, our gluten-free Oatmeal Nibby Cookie is a team favorite; and many of our beverages can be made vegan (just select oat milk when ordering). Please note that although our chocolate bars are vegan and gluten-free — as well as nut-free, soy-free, and kosher — our house-made pastries and specialty cakes are baked in a separate kitchen space that processes eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, and wheat.

What about allergens?

Product-page descriptions of our chocolate bars, baking items, collaborator confections, and house-baked pastries include ingredient lists with allergy notes. Our single-origin chocolate bars and ingredient chocolate are nut-free, soy-free, dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free, certified kosher, and made with organic, unrefined cane sugar. House-made pastries and cakes are baked — and our café beverages are prepared — in separate kitchen spaces that process eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, and wheat.

All of our confection items (such as truffles, caramels, boxed chocolate assortments, curated sets, and our Advent Calendar) may include treats that contain allergens, including dairy, gluten, nuts, and alcohol.
