Maker

Ritual Chocolate

Ritual Chocolate, based in Utah, owned by Robbie Stout and Anna Davies are masters at balancing sugar and cacao. This sophisticated chocolate maker only uses those two ingredients to make their chocolate, with no added soy, butter or vanilla. We appreciate Ritual for their purposeful variations in cacao percentage from harvest to harvest to produce the best tasting chocolate. Ritual is crafted on European methods with an American style. Their journey began back in 2008 in Boulder, Colorado, both cyclists, they noticed that both coffee and cycling companies focused on cyclists. They wondered why and sampled over 20 different cups of coffee with an expert. Robbie was surprised to learn how every cup tastes different due to the roast and where it was grown. From there they learned about terroir and thought well, everyone is doing coffee; why not chocolate! They already ate a little pieces of chocolate every night after dinner, it was their ‘ritual’. Robbie and Anna spent the following years in Costa Rica after taking ownership of an old chocolate factory. They meticulously studied the craft of chocolate, reading every manual on machinery and everything in between. Their attention to detail and dedication has really demonstrated through their award winning chocolate bars.

Cacao Estate

Akesson Estate

Perhaps one of the most famous origins in the world, Akesson’s Estate consists of several individual farms in northwestern Madagascar’s Sambirano Valley. The most prolific of these is certainly Bejofo Estate, which alone produces around 300 tons of cocoa each year. Over the last decade, Malagasy cacao (cacao grown on Madagascar) has earned a reputation for fruity, almost juicy cacao beans, which transform into some of the most unique chocolate in the world. All of the cacao grown on Akesson Estate is organic-certified.

Pretty good, but not as great as I was expecting

I had had this chocolate in the form of drinking chocolate in person at Ritual in park City and it was PHENOMENAL. So I had high expectations of this bar, but found it to be a bit more bitter and earthy than I was expecting.

Ritual Madagascar

Probably this is one of the best Madagascar origin I have ever tried. Besides the fruitness and slight citrus taste, the peanut background is amazing and distinctive. I couldn't put it down.

Super tangy and intense

This is a great bar to experience the full potential of tangy Madagascar beans. Lots of lemon, lime, and wood flavors, as well as more delicate notes of flowers and almonds. If you don't like tanginess in chocolate, you might not enjoy this bar so much, but I loved it - it's full of character.
