The Bar That Got Their Attention
It started a couple of months ago. Quiet email. Switzerland time zone. No press release. No big fanfare. Just a single, surprising question from the parent company of one of the biggest chocolate brands in the world: "Would you...
No Sugar. No Shortcuts. Just Chocolate.
Some things in life shouldn’t be rushed. Our 100% cacao is one of them. Six months. That’s how long it takes us to coax out every last note of flavor from a single ingredient—pure, organic cacao. No shortcuts, no sugar,...
Strawberry Fields Forever… in a Chocolate Bar
Sometimes food is more than food. Sometimes it is a postcard from the past, a reminder that before there were parking lots and hotel towers, this part of Southern California was nothing but rows of strawberries stretching toward the horizon....
How We Crafted a Bar That Reflects Marriott
We get a lot of requests for custom corporate chocolate. But at Marsatta, we are incredibly selective. For us, customization is not just about printing a logo on a box. It's about building something meaningful. A product that tells a...

Key Lime Limelight — A Summer Story
It started with a challenge. Not a shouted dare or some dramatic showdown, but a quiet nudge from a friend. The kind of friend who knows exactly how to push your buttons. We were standing on the Redondo Pier, waves...
The Bar That Beer Built. Our Collaboration with Smog City
You don’t really plan these things. They happen the way good stories do—unexpectedly, and then all at once. It started at the Torrance Farmers Market. Saturday mornings, way too early for most sane people, but just right for the ones...
What Do You Give the Woman Who Gave You Everything?
Let’s be real. Mother’s Day has become a cliché. Brunch with bad mimosas. Greeting cards with soft-focus flowers and zero honesty. Maybe some store-bought chocolates wrapped in cellophane and guilt. But if you’ve lived long enough, if you’ve screwed up...
