Behind the beans...

Cocoa Retreat began when my lifelong passion for great chocolate brought me back to the original bean.Crafting bars from single estate and heirloom varietals from around the world allows me to explore and celebrate the best cacao in every season.Just as more and more people are enjoying the pleasures of artisan breads and farmhouse cheeses, specialist coffees and locally-brewed craft beers, chocolate lovers are exploring the delights of bean to bar through a small but growing number of expert chocolate makers like Cocoa Retreat.You can find out more about the highly skilled people and complex and fascinating processes behind the beans by looking at each of the single origin bars on my shop pages.
