Ravenous Chocolate was built upon the idea that food should be better. I started by learning as much as possible about where chocolate comes from, how it is processed, and what the health benefits are. After learning about the incredible benefits of dark chocolate I quickly found there to be few creative outlets available in the world of chocolate. I started by learning how to process cocoa beans and from there decided to create a product that was not only unique but made with the best ingredients I could find. By incorporating a blend of cocoa and cocoa butter, made by hand, I was able to unify our various vinaigrettes into a delicious, nutritious, and versatile product. Starting with $500 and a dream, I set out in 2006 to develop my first product. After many failures and an apartment literally filled with cocoa beans, I had done it; I had gone from “bean to bar.” Now, what to do with it? Well, I knew I wanted to be unique; I wanted to showcase chocolate in a way that had never been done. Moreover, I wanted people to know that chocolate is not the sugar-filled oily treat Americans’ were used to. So I set out to develop Salad Dressings. Not the first thing that would come to mind, I know. But using chocolate to mellow out the vinegar was perfect. It is a culinary technique used by Latins and Italians alike for centuries. But no one was doing it. So I did. I am passionate about our process and my desire to maintain locality and environmental sustainability in my business. I hope you enjoy my products as much as I enjoy creating them!
