help DesBarres Chocolate FAQ
Where is DesBarres Chocolate made?
DesBarres is a Canadian bean-to-bar maker based in Uxbridge, Ontario. Catalog descriptions that place its production in Montreal are inaccurate.
Why do DesBarres bars list a cacao origin?
Single-origin labeling identifies the country or growing region supplying the beans. Because DesBarres controls the process from roasting through molding, those beans can produce noticeably different fruit, nut, or roast notes.
Is DesBarres a chocolatier or a chocolate maker?
DesBarres is a chocolate maker because it creates chocolate from cacao beans rather than starting only with purchased couverture. That bean-to-bar process includes roasting, grinding, refining, conching, tempering, and molding.
Why can one DesBarres dark bar taste different from another with the same cacao percentage?
Cacao percentage measures how much of the bar comes from cacao ingredients, not the exact flavor those ingredients will have. Bean genetics, fermentation, origin, roast profile, and conching can make two bars at the same percentage taste quite different.
