Single Origin Chocolate - Standards?


Posted in: Chocolate Education

Wow, great conversation. Opens a lot of spots for exploring.

It seems on the note of 'single origin' - with there being no standards - it is in the best interest of the chocolate maker/chocolatier to explore these details of the cacao they are sourcing themselves. This may take more rigourous research depending on how specific we want 'single origin' to mean for us. And for us to define/be transparent about what is does mean for us if we use that label on our product. To continue educating and encourage 'consumers' to question when the 'label' is used vaguely.

Thought?

Single Origin Chocolate - Standards?


Posted in: Chocolate Education

Hello! I am seeking reliable sources of South American Single Origin chocolate. I have been using a Colombian and a Venezualan chocolate that claim to be single origin. As I continue my research I am questioning what does it mean, are their standards to claiming Single origin on the labels OR by the distributor? My question is does anyone know where I can get reliable information about this? or what do you know about the 'Single-Origin' chocolate world? Thank you!

Hello! I am heading down to South America in the spring to get hands on learning in the cacao industry. My interest is primarily exposure in growing and processing of cacao beans as well as it;s cultural influences. Thought to reach out to other cacao & chocolate connosseurs who may have some guidance or recommendations about such a journey.
