help Franceschi Chocolate FAQ
Does Franceschi Chocolate actually make the chocolate from cacao beans instead of remelting bulk chocolate?
Yes, the catalog describes Franceschi Chocolate as a bean-to-bar maker, which means the process starts with cacao beans rather than couverture. The core steps are roasting, conching, tempering, and molding in its own facility.
What should I look for on a Franceschi Chocolate bar if I care about cacao origin?
Look for the named cacao origin, the cacao percentage, and whether the bar is a single-origin or blended recipe. In bean-to-bar chocolate, a 70 percent dark bar from one origin can taste very different from another 70 percent bar because the beans and roast profile drive much of the flavor.
Is Franceschi Chocolate more like Theo Chocolate or Fran's Chocolates in Seattle?
Franceschi Chocolate is closer to a bean-to-bar producer like Theo Chocolate than to a confection-focused shop like Fran's Chocolates. Fran's is famous for caramels and truffles, while a bean-to-bar operation emphasizes cacao sourcing and in-house chocolate making.
