Our Choco-Story

It all started in Paris back in 2011...

Carolina Quijano, our "Chocolate Empress" was already a chocoholic when she traveled to Paris on a business trip for a Wall Street consulting job that had her flying 150,000 miles a year.

She tasted a delicious life-changing chocolate and spent the next two years trying to re-create it in her tiny NYC studio apartment, while still working her demanding job on Madison Ave. hundreds of recipe trials later, in 2014, she took a leap and moved to Miami to start a chocolate factory and make her chocolate dreams come true.

What Makes Us Unique?

We roast our beans and grind to perfection using only sugar, no preservatives or additives.

Everything in our shop is made by hand.

Craftsmanship, dedication, innovation, and lots of energy fill our days.

We use only the best and most ethically sourced cacao beans.

Cacao beans endure a long process before becoming chocolate.

We believe in honoring the natural flavor of the beans and maintaining close ties with the farmers who work hard to produce them. We make bean-to-bar chocolates using only the highest quality ethically sourced beans.

Cheap chocolate is filled with oils and chemicals and that makes us sad!

Everything in our shop is made by hand.
