You know it as the "Preparation for Battle Scene" in the movies - the music gets all dark and serious and militant, a series of cut shots of serious people doing serious things in a serious way (polishing axes, training in kung fu, determined shoe shopping) suggesting the passage of time spent getting ready for whatever final finality waits at the end of the film - that's what Theo HQ is like this week as we prepare for the Fancy Food Show. Except, you know, with chocolate. And less kung fu. The show runs this Sunday through Tuesday, if you're going, be sure and stop by for chocolaty reinforcements, for whatever lies ahead (possibly ninjas)!
Great chocolate. I was just wondering - do you pull any of the flavanols out of the 91% chocolate? How do you get it to be not all that bitter relative to other types without doing so?

Hi Dan!
Thanks for the love! We are having an awesome time in sunny San Diego! I wanted to let you know that we do not remove anything from any of our chocolate nor do we "dutch" it. We source the highest quality beans in the world, and we carefully steward the roasting process to ensure that the amazing quality of the raw product is carried through to the roasted nibs! We pride ourselves on the "edibility" of our 91% Venezuela, and are so glad to hear when others enjoy our work too.
Thanks Again!
Kiki
