Greetings to my fellow chocolate lovers. The passage of time effects surprising changes.... I was the girl on the block who gave away her Halloween candy. I didn't like sweets - especially chocolate! Fast forward many years - and here I am posting on thechocolatelife. I'm fairly new to fine chocolate. I'm looking for a company that I can order from that sells a selection - not just from one chocolatier. Chatham's stock represented 200+ chocolates from fine chocolatiers world-wide. Any suggestions for websites, companies, etc.? Unfortunately, Chatham's of Scottsdale/Phoenix has closed shop.

Where can I find for purchase a wide selection of chocolate from a variety of different fine chocolatiers?
Hi!My name is Molly. I am the owner and Taste Temptress of Drexelius Chocoaltes. I sell a selection of all natural chocolate from some of the world's best chocolate makers: drexeliuschocolates.com Enjoy!
Thanks, Molly. I will check it out right now!April
Hi April,The best chocolate shop that I have seen is Ye Olde Friars. Living in northern England we used to holiday ever summer in the Lakes and one of the highlights of this trip was visiting this shop. Anyways enough of the reminiscing! They have just launched their web-site which is fantastic news as a live in the south now. I don't know what your tastes are but I love the dark chocolate cherry liqueurs which have the stalks and pips still attached. Also I have developed a taste for the unusual Hachez bars, flavours such as strawberry and pepper. Weird but surprisingly tasty! Thats enough waffling from me, here's the web addressfriarsofkeswick.co.ukCheers Clare
Clare,Thank you so very much. I shall investigate. Sounds delectable!
Hi April,Wonderful to have you here at thechocolatelife! Pls see www.chocoasis.com for a curated collection of fine chocolates from France, US, Italy, South America & Africa. You can choose by brand or by cacao bean origin. Because there's quite a few to choose from, I can help you select the bar you like - milk, dark, single-origin, with infusions, etc. We're currently offering free gift-wrapping for Valentine's Day. You can contact me at cs@chocoasis.com. It's nice to meet another chocolate enthusiast! =)
Thank you for responding to my post. I will be pleased to view your website 
Chocosphere has a great selection. The owners are very helpful and I've always been very pleased with how promptly and efficiently I get my orders. The Meadow has a good selection, but their prices are higher than Chocoshpere (at least the one time I ordered). World wide chocolate also has a great selection, but I haven't ordered from them.
Thank you for the tips! I did find a shop in San Francisco called CocoaBella Chocolates. They have a fine selection representing some of the best chocolatiers.
They have a great selection of truffles from wonderful chocolatiers -- glad you found what you were looking for!
My quest will never end...it keeps unfolding...forever expanding...
Thank you!
april?might as well give us a try too... www.lilliebellefarms.com I wasnt selected as one of North America's Top 10 this last year for my looks....
Thanks Jeff!
Hi again, JeffI just checked out your website. Your chocolates are exquisite! Will order soon. Thanks again.April
No birthdays or occasions coming up in March - guess they'll have to be for me! I shall enjoy. Thanks again, Jeff!
Don't forget the small guys. We're relatively new and open to suggestions for new products... http://newleafchocolates.com Enjoy! - Walter
Thank you, Walter! If I have any suggestions for new items, I'll be sure to let you know. Peace...
April,For the best filled chocolates in the world, you will usually only find them in their own store, as they will not be distributed intensely.If you haven't tried Chocolatier Blue in Berkeley, you are missing out. His ingredients are WAY above the industry standard. Uses nothing but Amedei (even for sculpture) and the unpasteurized cream he uses would retail for about $90 a gallon. I could go on and on about his other ingredients, but you get the picture. By far the best in my opinion.Thanks,Matt

Ya - I have been discovering that! Also, shipping to warm locations is exorbitant. Worth it in some cases!Thanks for the tip on Chocolatier Blue.Sincerely,Apriil

Two changes we made with the chocolate is that this time we winnowed the chocolate. This time we didn't use a blow dryer to melt the chocolate. Two improvements with the chocolate is that the melanger didn't get clogged this time and everyone put in work.
