How is Spinnaker Chocolate different?

Spinnaker chocolate is crafted using only well-fermented beans.

Great! But what does that mean?

Well, a typical bag of grade-A cocoa beans contains anywhere from 3-15% poorly-fermented beans. And poorly-fermented beans have a detrimental effect on flavor. Imagine making an eight-egg frittata where one of the eggs is rotten. That’s a particularly gross analogy since the beans we’re using aren’t exactly rotten, but you get the idea. The best beans means the best flavor.

To avoid using poorly fermented beans, we’ve developed a technology to inspect the inside of every bean and remove those of lesser quality — leaving us with only the best beans to make chocolate. And you can taste the difference; our chocolate has a distinct and strong flavor.

Our hope is that you’ll try our chocolate and say, “whoa,” then turn to your friend and say, “you gotta try this.”
