Developed for baking and beverages, our Natural Cocoa Powder is
made from perfectly roasted and well-fermented beans.
Our vintage melangeur's massive granite rollers slowly and gently
crush the cacao nib into chocolate liquor, while preserving the
complex flavors of the cacao.
An American Artisan: The Scharffen Berger Chocolate Maker Story
---------------------------------------------------------------
America's first contemporary artisan chocolate manufacturer,
SCHARFFEN BERGER Chocolate Maker set out to craft the richest,
most flavorful chocolate by sourcing the best cacao in the world
and blending it in small batches using vintage equipment.
SCHARFFEN BERGER Chocolate Maker was founded in 1997 by chocolate
connoisseur Robert Steinberg and winemaker John Scharffenberger.
The pair tested multiple combinations before perfecting a unique
blend that highlighted the true flavor of cacao instead of
ing it with sugar and other flavors. The result is an array
of truly distinctive chocolates with balance and complexity — not
unlike those found in exceptional wines.
As the first American "bean-to-bar" chocolate manufacturer in
over 50 years, SCHARFFEN BERGER Chocolate Maker led this
country's contemporary resurgence in artisan chocolate-making. It
was also the first chocolate maker to label their chocolate with
the percentage of cacao inside.
Today, SCHARFFEN BERGER Chocolate Maker travels the world to
source the finest cacao. We select the best beans from small
sustainable farms in fabled cacao-producing countries:
Madacar, Indonesia, Trinidad, Venezuela, Brazil, Guatemala,
Vietnam, Grenada, Paupua New Guinea, Bali, Ghana and Peru. Of the
more than 150 samples we taste each year, only a select few are
chosen to become SCHARFFEN BERGER Chocolate. Beans from each
region are picked for their unique flavor characteristics, and
our roasting parameters are specially developed for each origin
to bring out the best in each flavor. We blend these freshly
roasted beans to produce our signature flavors, balanced and
complex, highlighting the true, rich flavors of cacao.
This artisan process, honed with a wine-maker's attention to
craftsmanship, results in the richest, most flavorful chocolate
perfect for your favorite cakes, cookies, desserts and savory
recipes.
