Single origin chocolate is chocolate made from beans from one region, sometimes even one farm. Chocolate has varied tastes and such tastes depend upon factors such as: the bean type, soil type, climate and geographical location. Single origin chocolates have the ability to showcase each of these characteristics to their full potential. We have sourced some of the finest single origin chocolates available. The quality of these products will enable chefs to explore a whole new world in chocolate and use it as a major ingredient across the menu. 7 CasaLuker chocolate This family-owned enterprise was founded over 100 years ago in 1906.
