Choctal has a mission. We want to raise America's awareness and
appreciation of good chocolate.

Chocolate made with high percentage cacao is loaded with antioxidants,
natural mood enhancers and is good for you!

Good chocolate, like fine wine and good coffee, tastes different. The flavor
profiles are based primarily on the varietals of the cacao, (Criollo, Forastero,
or Trinitario), but more than 35 countries grow the cacao from which
chocolate is made, and each growing region produces cacao beans with
subtle flavor nuances. Additionally, as with coffee beans and grapes, flavor is
affected by harvesting and fermentation methods. Drying cacao beans and
coffee beans can be accomplished different ways and this too affects the
taste. Even more flavor variations bloom during the roasting process.

There are chocolate flavors most of you have never experienced. Choctal's
quest is to find and bring to our consumers, the most delicious, robust,
essential chocolate flavor profiles the world has to offer.

After extensive tasting, sampling, and experimentation (poor us!), with cocoa
powders, chocolates, bars, truffles, we've discovered that ice cream is a
perfect medium for showing off different flavor profiles of named origin cocoa
powders. And since vanilla has always gone hand in hand with chocolate, we
would like to share what we've learned about great vanilla too.
