An American Artisan: The Scharffen Berger Chocolate Maker Story
America's first contemporary artisan chocolate manufacturer, SCHARFFEN BERGER Chocolate Maker set out to craft the richest, most flavorful chocolate by sourcing the best cacao in the world and blending it in small batches using vintage equipment.
SCHARFFEN BERGER Chocolate Maker was founded in 1997 by chocolate connoisseur Robert Steinberg and winemaker John Scharffenberger. The pair tested multiple combinations before perfecting a unique blend that highlighted the true flavor of cacao instead of masking it with sugar and other flavors. The result is an array of truly distinctive chocolates with balance and complexity — not unlike those found in exceptional wines.
As the first American "bean-to-bar" chocolate manufacturer in over 50 years, SCHARFFEN BERGER Chocolate Maker led this country's contemporary resurgence in artisan chocolate-making. It was also the first chocolate maker to label their chocolate with the percentage of cacao inside.
Today, SCHARFFEN BERGER Chocolate Maker travels the world to source the finest cacao. We select the best beans from small sustainable farms in fabled cacao-producing countries: Madagascar, Indonesia, Trinidad, Venezuela, Brazil, Guatemala, Vietnam, Grenada, Paupua New Guinea, Bali, Ghana and Peru. Of the more than 150 samples we taste each year, only a select few are chosen to become SCHARFFEN BERGER Chocolate. Beans from each region are picked for their unique flavor characteristics, and our roasting parameters are specially developed for each origin to bring out the best in each flavor. We blend these freshly roasted beans to produce our signature flavors, balanced and complex, highlighting the true, rich flavors of cacao.
This artisan process, honed with a wine-maker's attention to craftsmanship, results in the richest, most flavorful chocolate you've ever tasted.

While it is certainly true that there are other superb Bitterwseet chocolates out there that can outshine Scharffen Berger in a one on one taste test, I have yet to find one that could consistantly deliver this same level of quality at this price point and still acheieve all the things we look for in a very, very dark chocolate. One would have to have access to a dependable Artisanl Chocolatier to find that and even then, I doubt they could came in at even less than twice the price. This is why Sharffen berger is the preferred chocolate of both home and professional bakers at this busy time of year. We know it will deliver to us a nice evenly noted Bittwersweet taste not too waxy nor overly creamy in texture and that this 70% Cacao bar can be easily incorporated into ganaches, used to melt and then coat dried fruits for Holiday platters, serve as the basis of a decadedent Southern Chocolate layer cake 6 layers high or, be snapped off into the scored triangles and...

Today three of us (all of whom believe that we love dark, bittersweet chocolate) taste-tested Sharffen Berger Bittersweet Dark Chocolate against Lindt bittersweet, Ritter Sport Dark Chocolate a la Mousse au Chocolate, Krause's dark chocolate (from a local handmade chocolate shop), and Trader Joe's dark chocolate. Trader Joe's failed -- it had no vanilla or other flavorings and was hard, almost crunchy, seemingly lacking in sufficient cocoa butter. The Lindt chocolate was fine-textured, full-flavored, and somewhat creamy. It contained vanillin, an artificial vanilla flavoring, rather than real vanilla. The Scharffen Berger was less sweet, but also creamy, smooth, with a nice color and sheen, broke nicely, and was rich and full-flavored, with notes of vanilla (it has the real thing) and citrus. The Ritter was very creamy and much sweeter and much less complex in flavor. The Krause's was also quite sweet, full-flavored, smooth, and creamy.All three of us liked the...

If your taste runs to dark chocolate without filling, then this is the bar for you. It has a rich very "cacao" flavour with a nice snap and smooth mouth feel. There's also slight notes of fruitiness. This would actually be good for those on a diet. The flavour is so rich, intense and satisfying, that I can only eat a little at a time, whereas I can (and have) easily consume a entire milk chocolate bar in a manner of mere minutes. And, on that note- dark chocolate actually has health benefits! |
