For Vendors & Chocolate Makers

Interested in Bean To Bar World as a Stockist

As I grow my product line, I’m always on the lookout for talented craftsmen and unique products from bean-to-bar chocolate makers creating chocolate or cacao products, as well as non-food related products that are either educational or in-line with the bean-to-bar realm.

Keep in mind that above all, Bean To Bar World is a business based on educating the public through tastings and online resources. Food products will be used in educational tastings and events and require more than simply “tasting great”.

If you are a chocolate maker

  1. All products must be made by you and at the very least be starting with the raw cocoa beans.

  2. Your company must have information accessible to the public and be transparent in regards to: the owners, your process, ingredients, cacao sources, any be able to answer any questions the public may have about your products.

  3. I am not focused on one style of bar, so feel free to connect if you have unique approaches.

  4. I judge the skillset and quality based predominately on the unflavoured dark (AKA single-origin) bars, but I am also interested in unique flavoured bars as well.

  5. Chocolate awards are meaningless to me. I prefer makers who have a sense of self-respect and confidence in the work that they do regardless of awards. My purpose is to educate the public on the facts, and help them to be more informed and confidence consumers who rely on what they know, not what they are told.

  6. Even if your bars are lovely, I may not be interested due to various factors such as my personal preferences (I have to sell bars I’m excited about using in my tastings), I may have bars that are already very similar in flavour/style/etc., or perhaps cost and logistics. However, please know that I encourage anyone who wishes to venture into chocolate making and hope you the best. I am always happy to offer very honest and critical feedback on your products should you request it.
