Bean to Bar Chocolatiers Passion and Care
Posted on January 13, 2009 at 4:50pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
In the past few months I have visited with a few bean to bar chocolate makers and one thing that impresses me is the care and dedication shown throughout the entire process.
Last week, I was visiting with Art Pollard of Amano Chocolates and I could not believe the personal touch he added to every step of the chocolate making process. I was with him while he roasted beans, winnowed them, added them in the melangeur and was refining them also. Each step of the way was so exacting. The… Continue

Jim said… Eric,
I think we have an very high quality cocoa bean operation. Brad seems to approve of our processes and has spoken well of products. We were awarded "Cocoa Beans of Excellence" at the 2010 Salon du Chocolate in Paris and have already been shortlisted for the 2011 event.
If you can flesh out your interest in Brazilian beans I will try to fill in your requests.
Best regards
Jim Lucas

Sirius Chocolate said… - Hi,
I just read your discussion with Sacred Steve on the "Cocoa beans at great prices" forum. I am extremely interested in wild and rare Criollo varieties, particularly from the Tabasco region of Mexico (and around Costa Rica, Peru, and Bolivia).
Thanks!

Kevin said… - Hi Eric,
I just found out from Clay you will be selling cocoa bean direct. Do you have a web site or a list of the beans you have available. Thanks.

Tom said… - Hi Eric, I would like to get some of the Venezeulan Carenero beans you have sent to me in Australia. I usually get sent beans in 12lb flat rate boxes from the USA, any chance of getting 12lbs of beans to make the most of the shipping. Anyway how should we go about getting this organised?

- Hi Eric,
I would like to know if it would be possible to get smaller quantities of an assortment of beans so I can better get to know the flavors. Four pounds of 8-10 varieties would be a great way for me to better understand the beans and flavors. Thanks.

- Eric- I visited Pam and Bob Coopers "Original Hawaiin Chocolate Factory" in Kona. They were not selling beans or pods at that time. I think your best bet would be the Kauai Cacao Coop: http://steelgrass.org/chocolate/cooperative.html
In case you are not familar with Chocolate Alchemy, this is another site to purchase beans (other than Hawaiin):
