The products are aimed at consumers interested in artisanal, small-batch confections that highlight the distinct flavors of specific cacao terroirs.

help Woodblock Chocolate FAQ

What does bean-to-bar mean at Woodblock Chocolate?

Woodblock starts with cacao beans and handles roasting, grinding, refining, and molding in Portland rather than melting premade couverture. That gives the maker direct control over how each cacao origin is expressed in the finished bar.

Where is Woodblock Chocolate made?

Woodblock Chocolate is based in Portland, Oregon, and produces its bars in small batches. The cacao itself comes from growing regions outside Oregon, with individual bars identifying a country or origin.

Why do Woodblock single-origin bars taste different from one another?

Cacao genetics, fermentation, drying, soil, and roasting can produce flavors ranging from nutty to fruity even when the ingredient list is similar. A single-origin bar preserves more of those regional differences than a blend designed for the same flavor every year.

Is Woodblock Chocolate the same kind of Portland chocolate as Moonstruck?

Both are Portland chocolate businesses, but Woodblock is especially associated with small-batch bean-to-bar production and origin-focused bars. Moonstruck is better known for filled truffles, gift boxes, and molded confections.
