Yes… as you can tell, I was eating chocolate and feeling grateful that if I was an English Victorian woman making chocolate in 1847, licking the bowl was much more affordable than buying a bar.

An entirely reasonable response to Wednesday.

Are we buying ingredients… or stories?

Chocolate across the board is being scrutinised about its origin and ethics. As is all the food in our current system.

I love a wonderland. But I love it more with dimensions, rough sides, real life happening intentions.

An Aquarian can float, as so the ideals. But imagination, bringing real life creation. Smoke and mirrors don’t fancy me.

A farmer brings to the plate a symphony. With ingredients as close as can be.

I’ll be over here, waiting for the raspberry season. It’s all for a different reason.

Be it berries, bee pollen, brahmi or bergamot.

Which will you choose? Am I missing a flavour?

A magical market on Sunday at Small Town Experiences

My heart filled with visits from Southern Tasmanian supporters. There were so many memorable moments of awe getting to meet long time lovers of our chocolate and cacao!

Thankyou for connecting with me while I made your brew… it’s one of the main reasons I love to be at markets. Indeed at times, slow and steady…

Sending many loves to you all 🩷
Hope to be back another time soon.

Olivia, Cyriel and Brenda

You may also like to fill a created vessel from Emily whom will also join for the day. Undoubtedly, my favourite part of cacao sipping.

It feels like the last part of leaving a chapter.

There’s much to share.

The deep part of wintering, shedding, reflecting is in full motion.

Creating takes time. But without strong foundations in place it becomes impossible to grow.

Spaces for nourishment, collection and creation are taking form.

We’re still here… just waiting for the flowers to bloom.

With love, compassion and empathy

Our recent cacao shipment reminded us that organic certification is much more than a logo on a package.

It forms responsibility, transparency and integrity.

The most important decisions in this business are happening long before a chocolate bar sits on the shelf.

After some long thought during late nights and mornings preparing for markets, it’s time for Dear Valentine Chocolate to move into the next phase.

We’re shifting away from regular markets to focus on what we love doing best of… making more of the seed to bar, certified organic, refined sugar free chocolate you love, and getting it into more hands through our growing wholesale family. It’s also time to start focusing on getting the shop open.

It doesn’t mean DVC is disappearing completely. We’ll still be at markets for pickup only at Tasmanian Organic Coffee Co. The website will start to reflect the locations for pickup, or you may wish to send a direct order or request through to us.

It’s been a tough decision and your smiley faces and amazing feedback has fuelled me through the long days and nights of prep. It’s a little pull back but I promise what is coming in replacement of my market energy will be worth it.

Love always, Olivia x

Dear Valentine Chocolate was birthed as a contradiction to the commercial Valentine’s Day that has been pushed for monetary gain.

A valentine was historically at some stage a loved one. It was about connecting with one another, rejoicing. I wanted to be responsible for being able to spark a feeling and a connection to whoever or whatever that loved thing could be.

In the Age of Aquarius, it’s necessary more than ever.

The vessel was the chocolate. Cacao with its unique ability to open the heart, especially at high strength. This melding of the cacao creations on offer and the feeling I wanted to shine through became the complementary catalysts.

This year, my friend and I decided we wanted to create a fusion of our values around connection. This is not a Valentine’s Day gift. Though it is indeed conveniently available as an offering from now.

Helena has recently been on a journey alongside copper and the mitochondria mother. The pendants, either with Shungite or Aura Quartz hold their own unique abilities alongside copper. Copper provides a protective frequency in your personal field to deflect and discharge harmful energies, helping you stay grounded and centred within your own presence.

The cacao I have to offer has taken on an imagining, inspired by the time of arrival from the first cacao in Europe from Meso America. Imagine a bridge, where we place ourselves in a time that we took cacao offerings and knowledge from elders with graciousness. That the infusion of our wisdom and theirs (still thriving today) is respected with reason. There was a reason for every inclusion.

If you would like to be part of our offering, we are sharing both together pendants and chocolates or happily separate too.

Love
Olivia and Helena
