Comments (0) BEST HOMEGROWN CHOCOLATE - 2006

Chocolove 1-888-Chocolove

The very name "Chocolove" sounds like the title of a bad '70s blaxploitation flick. This chocolate is embarrassing to buy, tough to develop a taste for, and every bar comes wrapped with a love poem that's almost unforgivably cheesy. But still, we've got nothing but love for what's coming off the small-batch production line at this Boulder-based company, which reflects founder Tom Moley's dedication to sourcing the best international cocoa and combining it in surprising ways. It may not have been love at first bite, but it was close -- and now we're committed to Chocolove's dark chocolate and candied ginger bar.

This Chocolate is incredibly divine, as is the Man behind the Mocha, Timothy. He is Boulder's version of Willy Wonka and we are lucky to have such a Chococonnoisseur in our own backyard. You won't find a more velvety smooth chocolate bar, wrapped in even more velvety smooth, if not gooey poetry.

For true artisanal chocolate, surely the one-man operation run by Steven DeVries deserves a mention? He supervises the harvest of his single-source beans.
