help Garçoa Chocolate FAQ
Is Garçoa Chocolate made in Brazil or Switzerland?
Garçoa is a Swiss bean-to-bar maker based in Zurich, not a São Paulo chocolate factory. Its identity is closely tied to cacao sourcing and transparent small-batch production.
Why does Garçoa put cacao origins on its packaging?
The origin identifies where the cacao was grown and helps explain a bar's particular fruit, nut, spice or fermentation notes. Garçoa's approach treats cacao origin much like coffee roasters treat an individual farm or region.
Does a higher cacao percentage always make a Garçoa bar more bitter?
Not necessarily, because genetics, fermentation, roasting and added sugar all affect perceived bitterness. Two single-origin bars with the same percentage can taste markedly different.
How is Garçoa different from a conventional Swiss chocolatier?
Garçoa works from cacao beans and controls stages such as roasting, grinding and refining in-house. Many confectioners instead begin with couverture manufactured by a larger supplier and focus on fillings, tempering or molded products.
