Crafting Single Origin Chocolate in Brooklyn

It’s quite possible that I eat more chocolate than you do. Recently I tried a bar of Raaka Chocolate — and as it happened when I first tasted decent espresso and wine, my tasting scale for good chocolate changed. I came to realize that not all chocolate is milk chocolate and that well-treated cocoa beans are capable of bringing far more sophisticated and prolonged delight than any sugar- and additive-infused bar from a local supermarket. Luckily, Raaka Chocolate, based in Brooklyn, is making all of its bars right here — of course, I couldn’t miss a private tour of the factory.
