Bean to bar makers pride ourselves in knowing the origins of the cacao beans that we use, and many prefer single origin.

But what is a single origin?

For chocolate competition rules, single origin can be an entire country (if it does not produce a large amount of cacao).

For some of the communes, we know roughly an area where the farmers haul the beans to for central fermentation and drying.

Some beans we can even narrow down to a farm..

But how about a single tree?

Well this is a bar from our friends family 🏠 made in

From Mamala,Kerala India to Laguna Niguel California, how small the world 🌎 is..

It is always humbling and eye opening to see and meet many other bean to bar makers from all over the world.

I had a great time sharing and getting tips, learning, meeting with the equipment manufacturers seeing what is coming soon and meeting many of the single origin cacao bean producers.

Alao met in person my main bean sourcerer for 7+ yrs Gino from .

I am going to incorporate many of the techniques and lessons to keep elevating Ninbys artisan chocolate.

At Nibbys we are always looking for a better bean to make 🍫🍫.
This most recent one is from Ghana Three Mountains Cacao.

While chocolate taste is subjective we have shared it with 200+ people and so far have had great feedback.
This now has become my favorite out of the 30+ origins we made from over the last 6 years.

If you would like to try it, I have a limited amount for purchase @3 for $25 with free shipping to continental US. (Venmo/Zelle) Just DM me to secure some.

All I can say, reading books written by professionals on candy making does work as opposed to watching YouTube :), there is a lot of chemistry/physics going on..

We had an amazing visit at with Marinko. He is one of 2 makers in Croatia and truly does this out of passion for the craft.
Among other things he holds the largest chocolate bar and makes playable records out of his chocolate!

We will make sure to load up on some of his award winning Nicaragua bars at the airport on our outbound flight (only way to ensure they don't melt in this hot Croatian summer :) )

I was finally able to use the vanilla beans that we picked up at a spice market in Aswan (city on the Nile in southern Egypt).

A little bit of vanilla just mellows out the Tanzania Bean..

And yes, sunshine is out in SoCal..
