The Secret Chocolatier uses fresh seasonal ingredients from regional farmers to create their unique flavors. There are no extracts or oils used. Everything is processed in a cream steeping method to bring out the peak flavors. As a rule, they have decided that the best can’t be tampered with. The pursuit of longer shelf life, temperature stability, etc., requires the introduction of a lot of science, and that pushes the "natural" out. It’s a difference that you can sense – that you can taste – so The Secret Chocolatier rejects such artificial approaches in favor of pure, all-natural ingredients and processes. They strive to stay as close to the source of all their ingredients as possible. We’re proud to bring you a selection of their classics as well as some seasonal creation...
