Treat yourself to a world
Environmental responsibility. Ethical practices. The world’s best and rarest. With most purchases, these things are out of our hands - or out of reach. But when you enjoy bean to bar, you’re not just treating yourself. Beans grown by small farmers. Bars handmade by craftspeople. Packaging designed by artists. It’s an everyday luxury that indulges more than just taste.
Every chocolate bar is a ticket to explore new countries and cultures. Discover the world’s diverse cocoa growing regions – from sun-drenched islands to tropical rainforests to lush mountainsides – and taste a little part of the world in every bite.

Shop NowBean-to-bar prioritizes transparent sourcing practices, as well as sustainable and small-scale farming. This promotes biodiversity, ensures workers are fairly paid, and creates a more equitable connection between grower, producer, and consumer.
Shop NowUnlike mass-produced chocolate, which blends beans from various regions, countries, and vintages, single estate chocolate is crafted from cacao beans grown on a single farm. These bars are exceptionally rare and offer distinct flavours that capture the unique terroir of their origin, reflecting the specific soil, climate, and season in which the cacao beans were cultivated. This exclusivity results in characteristics that are truly one-of-a-kind and impossible to replicate.
Women and girls play a significant role in cocoa farming, yet they frequently face limited access to resources, education, and financial independence. By highlighting female-owned chocolate businesses, I aim to promote gender equality and empowerment. It's also important to recognize that many of the absolute best bean-to-bar chocolate makers today are women.
Made at Origin are crafted directly in the regions where the cacao is grown. These bars celebrate the authentic flavours of their origin, capturing the essence of local terroir, bean varietals, and traditions. By eliminating the need to ship cocoa thousands of kilometers, Made at Origin significantly reduces the environmental footprint. Moreover, this approach does more to support local communities, especially in underdeveloped areas where sustainability practices are essential.
The commercial cocoa industry has historically been a major contributor to deforestation, water pollution, and the use of harmful pesticides. However, many bean-to-bar farmers and producers prioritize preserving ecosystems, avoiding any chemical use, and ensuring the long-term health of the land. Many of our bars adhere to the highest standards of purity and sustainability.
Many BIPOC-owned businesses are situated in regions where cocoa is grown, which ensures not only higher quality but also a more personal connection to their products and a deep understanding of their cultural significance and economic importance to the communities where they are made. These businesses bring unique perspectives, flavours, and traditions to the table, in addition to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusivity in the chocolate industry.
