We work with Uncommon Cacao to source ultra-premium grade organic beans. They operate their business with Transparent Trade\, financial transparency\, a step beyond Fair Trade guidelines.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe receive the fermented/dried cacao at our little factory here in Sonoma County. The first step is roasting\, which is much like roasting coffee. Time and temperature are closely monitored and adjusted during the roasting process. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOnce the beans have been roasted\, there are several more processes before the chocolate bars are molded and packaged. The artwork on the labels are photographs of quilts made by Cathy Shanahan\, a renowned textile artist\, and Jeff’s aunt!
