Ritual Chocolate

The story of Ritual Chocolate begins with a tiny 400-square-foot studio turned test kitchen in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Our space was filled to the brim with equipment and the aroma of cacao, and we were often lulled to sleep by the rhythm of chocolate grinders, surrounded by self-built equipment, like a cacao bean drum converted from a chicken rotisserie oven and our beautiful mess of PVC pipes that conjoined from every which way just to winnow cacao shells. It’s been a long moment since our first forays into the world of cacao, which came with no readily available manual and plenty of trial & error. We’ve left one set of mountains for another, and we now have a factory in Park City, Utah, where we have the space and capabilities to combine the best old world techniques with newer machinery. Our heart still beats for cacao, and we continue to learn and use what we’ve learned about this world in order to craft the highest quality and smoothest chocolate possible. IG:
