Fresco takes the roasting step in their chocolate making very seriously. Roasting is essential for chocolate flavor development, and different roasting levels can change the flavors of different cocoa varieties. According to Fresco founders, "a perfect roast is subjective and personal." Here we feature our favorite bars at each roasting level:
Light: just enough to soften raw cocoa's acidic or green edge
Medium: cocoa flavors develop to be balanced and flavorful
Dark: full bodied, bold, intense, new flavor notes can develop while others may be subdued

Collection title: Fresco
Collection description: Fresco is a small craft chocolate maker in Lynden, Washington. The founder of Fresco, Rob Anderson, releases several combinations of roasting and conch profiles to create different variation bars from the same beans. Anderson, originally a computer scientist, took a trip to Washington and visited a chocolate shop and took a tour which initially sparked his chocolate interest. Since then, Anderson created his own machines to make small batches of test chocolate. While only using three ingredients for his bars; cacao beans, cane sugar and cacao butter, Fresco’s flavor range is uniquely diverse. He chose the name Fresco meaning fresh in Italian, which could translate into fresh taste, fresh ideas, or a fresh approach to chocolate making.

Collection description: These chocolates do not list soy products as a main ingredient. Some of the chocolates say: "may contain traces of soy" where perhaps a very small amount may have come in contact with the food due to shared equipment or facility usage. Each product has icons that indicate whether a product is completely soy free or may contain traces.
