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.

This is a good quality dark chocolate. It's well tempered and shiny and enjoyable in small doses as very dark chocolate tends to be. Not waxy at all...a little powdery if you let melt on your tongue which with the high percentage of cocoa without added cocoa butter is to be expected. Has woody and a hint of dark fruity notes to my taste - pleasant with red wine, particularly dessert wines. Not super sweet...it does use sugar but the cocoa is definitely dominant. Description of the bar (which I just re-read) claims figgy and peppery notes. I could see the fig maybe, not really the peppery spiciness at all, but whatever, I'm far from a professional taster - just an oft enjoyer.For your reference, each bar is 3 oz and 420 calories for the whole bar. For those carb counters (like my boyfriend) a whole bar (which you would probably never eat in one sitting) is 34 g of carbs, of which 12 g are fiber. Bar is good chopped up in pancakes (just saying :) as it...

I was originally taken aback by this product when I received it, as I planned to do a wine and chocolate pairing with it and I got six- count 'em- six (6) hefty bars of the product. So of course that meant a lot- and I mean A LOT- of wine pairings...As for the chocolate itself, I nibbled on one bar throughout the day, having some as a snack and most with meals. The chocolate itself is a little on the heavy, creamy side, with a strong peppery overtone and an unusual but pleasant after-taste. Fans of sweet chocolate will be let down somewhat, as the bars were not very sweet. However, this allowed the natural flavor of the chocolate to shine. The peppery taste was a little on the hot and spicy side, thus reminding me of some of the more adventurous south-east Asian or Central American food that I have consumed (with tearful, giddy glee) over the years. This immediately brought to mind pairings with some of the sweeter white wines- Riesling and Gerwurztraminer, for the...

Dark chocolate is probably one of the best deserts out there: a good square is filling, satisfying, delicious and even good for you. Scharffen Berger hits all the right notes with their extra-dark bar. It's everything a dark chocolate lover would expect: the rich taste, the hint of bitterness, and all this without one of dark chocolate's frequent flaws, graininess. This is as smooth a dark chocolate bar as any milk I've ever had, and somehow despite the high cocoa content also manages to be one of the least bitter (!?). Highly recommended. If you're so inclined this is a fantastic chocolate to end a tasting dinner or to pair with a good glass of Cabernet. You could also just, you know, eat it. It's delicious. |
