Go Green Expo Redux: Theo Chocolate
by Rich AwnAs if carried in on a magic chocolate carpet woven of the pure essence of cacao, the Theo Chocolate booth entranced its passerby with a panoply of delicious samples backed up by a feel-good, fair trade story to help elevate the smooth, sweet chocolaty bliss.
JW: Hi, I’m Joe Winny with Theo Chocolate. We’re the first and only organic, fair trade chocolate maker in the United States. We make our chocolate bean-to-bar and it’s scientifically proven that we make the best chocolate ever made.
GA: That was way less than a minute. What are some of the varieties that you’ve got?
JW: We have fig, fennel, and almond in a 70% dark chocolate, a vanilla milk chocolate 91% from Costa Rica. We do a wide range of products from fresh ganache all the way to dark, single-origin chocolates.
