Matt Caputo said… - Bertil,
Good to hear from you. I hope all is well. Have you found a U.S. distributor yet? I would still like to carry your products, I just won't be able to import them myself. Either way we are selling lots of your beans through other bars.
Ciao,
Matt

Very nice to hear from you. I have heard that you are up to some very interesting things. Best of luck!
I'd love to catch up in more depth sometime after Christmas, but if you are at all interested in sharing more about your current chocolate biz, I'd be very interested to read about it. I think that you have my email.
Very best,
Alan
