ChocoVivo handcrafts small batches of dark chocolate using traditional stone-grinding methods dating back over 2000 years ago. We work with our grower to select specially fermented beans that will bring out a unique flavor. From using only whole cacao nibs to whole spices the ingredients are as Mother Nature intended our food to be. Our mantra is “Simple Is Better.”

Our Story

The connection from the plantation, grower, artisan to the table is why I am passionate about bringing a 2000 year old tradition back to life. Strip away all the fillers inside your typical chocolate bar and this is the real taste of chocolate. Pure and complex.

I hated corporate and sitting behind the computer crunching numbers. After many mornings of laying in bed and staring up at the ceiling before going to work, I decided to quit my job and travel down to Mexico on a culinary tour. I discovered that chocolate is enjoyed in a completely different way. It’s a part of their everyday life. I came back here and decided that people don’t really understand the true taste of chocolate and how chocolate I processed. After 5 years of R&D, this is the purest form of chocolate that you can eat that is truly the way that it was done over 2000 years ago – no tempering, conching or various steps of refinement. This is stone ground chocolate from bean to bar.
