THE CHOCOLATE REVOLUTION is well underway. This site aims to be an information resource for enthusiasts of fine chocolate, in particular single-origin chocolate.

At present we give details of 19 chocolatiers from France, Belgium, Italy, the UK, Venezuela and the US and tasting notes for more than 80 of their creations, mostly single-origin chocolate bars. There are big differences between these producers - we compare large international companies with small independent Parisian chocolatiers - and this site is there to help you navigate the growing world of single-origin chocolate.

In addition to details of chocolatiers and chocolate bars we have an introduction to the different types of cacao (yes, not cocoa) bean, the countries of origin, the (supposed?) health benefits of chocolate, advice on how to taste chocolate and much more.

Recently updated: Added new chocolate bars for a number of producers, removed some producers that have gone out of business (MALAGASY, PLAISIR DU CHOCOLAT) or have stopped selling single-origin chocolate (LINDT, JACQUES TORRES), and added new producer ORIGINAL BEANS. The offerings and details of stores have been updated for all producers.
