Our Approach to Ethically Sourcing Our Ingredients

Bean-to-bar chocolate is a type of chocolate that is made from the cocoa bean, rather than using pre-made cocoa powder. The process of making bean-to-bar chocolate is a complex and labor-intensive one, but the end result is a chocolate that is rich in flavor and complexity.

The process of making bean-to-bar chocolate starts with sourcing high-quality cocoa beans. The cocoa beans are sourced from small farms and cooperatives around the world, with a focus on ethical and sustainable sourcing. At Marsatta Chocolate, we take great care in selecting the finest cocoa beans to ensure that our chocolate is of the highest quality.

Once the cocoa beans have been sourced, they are roasted to bring out their unique flavors and aromas. The roasting process is carefully controlled to ensure that the cocoa beans are not burned or under-roasted, which can negatively impact the flavor of the chocolate.

After roasting, the cocoa beans are ground into a paste. This paste, known as cocoa liquor, is the base for all chocolate. At this stage, the cocoa liquor is mixed with sugar and other ingredients, such as milk powder, to create the final chocolate product.

Once the ingredients have been mixed together, the chocolate is poured into molds and allowed to cool and solidify. After the chocolate has solidified, it is removed from the molds and packaged for sale. The entire process, from sourcing the cocoa beans to packaging the chocolate, can take several weeks.

At Marsatta Chocolate, we are committed to ethical and sustainable sourcing. We believe that by sourcing our cocoa beans from small farms and cooperatives, we are supporting the communities that grow our cocoa and promoting sustainable practices in the cocoa industry.

In addition, our chocolate is made using only the finest ingredients, and we never use any artificial flavors or preservatives. This means that our chocolate is not only delicious, but also better for you and the environment.

In conclusion, bean-to-bar chocolate is a complex and labor-intensive product that is made from high-quality cocoa beans, and Marsatta Chocolate is proud to be a part of this industry. Our commitment to ethical and sustainable sourcing, along with using only the finest ingredients, sets us apart from others in the industry and ensures that our chocolate is not only delicious, but also better for you and the environment.
