“Good King has changed the landscape of chocolate in the most wonderful way. The texture is of a nut that has a hint of sweetness coupled with spices.”

“It’s a great food to put out at parties pairing with wine, cheese, or beer - it’s a relatively new food concept to most people making it fun for guests to try and a good conversation starter”

One step closer! We submitted all of our #trailmix paperwork to @WSDAgov for approval. *Hopefully* we’re only a few weeks away from introducing you to the dried version of these #naturallysweet (#nosugaradded) #oregon #blueberries from @svorganics in our new #love #cacao #snackmix. Until visiting their farm a few weeks ago, I had no idea blueberries could grow in large clusters like this! Had they been higher off the ground, I would have thought they were wine grapes. Wow! #latergram #organic #vegan #plantbased #nongmo #familyfarm #driedfruit
We love the diversity of #cacaopod colors. This one looks like it’s been in the sun too long! Let this be your reminder - don’t forget the sunblock as we begin celebrating our final #summer #longweekend in the US! #cocoapod #cacao #cacaofarm #cacaobeans #honduras #singleorigin #directtrade #vegan #seattlemade #snacksonthego

My job description changes day by day. Some days I need to be a #miracleworker. Today, my only job is “don’t screw it up” because this #cacao is gorgeous. 1st picture: #Harmony (from #Honduras) - flavor notes of rich #coffee, with #crunchy texture and #nutty flavor of #roastedalmonds with a #smooth, clean finish. 2nd picture: #Love (from #Indonesia) - #cinnamon, #nutmeg, #clove and #cardamom on the nose - lightly sweet, warm spices lead into #darkchocolate flavor notes with a slight #raisin finish. #Thankful that I didn’t screw up the incredible work of our #inspiring, #singleorigin #growers. Today’s job is done! #directtrade, #vegan, #GMOfree, #womenownedbusiness, #seattlemade #snackingcacao, #wholecacaobeans, #handcrafted, #smallbatch
We’ve moved! Maybe not postcard worthy, but we #enjoytheview of Queen Anne Hill (from our 3rd floor office!) in summery #Seattle. ❤️ - And, pretty sure I ate at least 2+ servings of #snackingcacao EVERY day this week. Plus ALL of our soon-to-be-launched #trailmix samples... thankful they #dontmelt - ha, and that I know where to find more! #fuel #wholecacaobeans, #seattlemade, #entrepreneurlife

Why is #cocoa so expensive? This is a question I hear often. The answer is VERY complex, but one reason is clear. #cacaopods are one of the last remaining crops that must be carefully #handharvested individually, typically with pruning shears. This ensures the #cacaoflowers which produce the future #harvest (and grow frighteningly close to the ripe pods) aren’t damaged in the process. There is an upside for #quality – experienced growers don’t need to harvest every pod at the same time – they can wait until each is #perfectlyripe. What are some other hand harvested crops you can think of? #directtrade, #singleorigin, #plantbased, #GMOfree, #snackingcacao, #wholecacaobeans, #handcrafted
