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.

Stack of Scharffenberger chocolate

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.

    I love chocolate with almonds. Buy those Hershey bars all the time. This was a different taste. I have to say it took a few bites/swallows to get used to a different taste sensation. Of course, ah, I had to try a number of bites to be clear as to my opinion (smile).

    It is a great chocolate bar. Smooth, light and crunchy. The almonds are not huge, but they are noticeably there.

    Great quality bar with a nice smooth taste that will get your taste buds asking for more. Enjoy!

    Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
    Scharffen Berger Chocolate is one of the best premium chocolate bars out there. When they were based in Berkeley, I had taken a tour of the factory and was able to taste many of their bars. Of all the different Scharffen Berger bars there are, the Sea Salted Almond bar is definitely my favorite. This particular flavor is so hard to find in stores that I'm excited that Amazon carries this flavor.

    The Sea Salted Almond bar is labeled as milk chocolate. However, it contains 41% Cocoa which makes it a "darker" chocolate than most milk chocolate bars out there. The higher cocoa content gives the chocolate the quality of a semi-sweet chocolate. Despite the higher cocoa content, the bar still has the smooth mouth feel of milk chocolate. The smooth texture of the chocolate contrasts nicely with the slight saltiness from the sea salt and crunchiness from the tiny almond pieces. This chocolate is everything you expect from a high quality chocolate bar: not too sweet, complex... Read more

    I believe in full disclosure so I will admit up front that I am a chocoholic. I am partial to milk chocolate such as is contained in these bars. I am not knowingly familiar with sea salted chocolate and I can't say that I can identify sea salt in this product. What I can identify is an excellent flavor. The almonds are chopped into tiny pieces which makes them easy to consume but still distinctive enough to provide the unique almond flavor. The milk chocolate has a superb taste and a perfect level of sweetness. One need not be a connoisseur of chocolate to appreciate the quality of this product.
