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.


  • 62% Dark chocolate bar with freshly roasted coffee.
  • Created using the world's best cacao beans blended in small batches on vintage European equipment.
  • Perfect for holiday snacking

Scharffen Berger Mocha (Dark Chocola with Freshly Roasted Coffee) Chocolate Bar (62% Cacao)

I am not a big fan of chocolate, nor am I a chocolate connoisseur, but I really like these Mocha chocolate bars. First, they come in the old school chocolate wrappers that use a paper outer labeling with foil for the chocolate itself. There are 400 calories, 30 grams of fat, and 32 grams of sugar carbs in each bar. The bar is labeled as being 62 % cacao. It is mainly dark bittersweet chocolate mixed with Sumatran coffee beans. When chomping on the chocolate, it tastes a lot like dark coffee mixed with dark hot cocoa, and a hint of sweetness. The texture is slightly gritty, not nearly the same as a Nestle Crunch, but you can definitely taste some of the crushed beans.

I really liked the packaging, and the fact the chocolate isn't too sweet (although 32 g of sugar per bar is fairly significant).

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars, doesn't taste overly sweet like the milk... Read more

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
I am fortunate enough to have a daughter who fell in love with a brilliant, dashing Swiss national, and ran away to Live Happily Ever After with her One True Love in a rustic love-nest tucked away amongst the pines of the Snow-Covered Alps. (Well, actually, in an apartment on Av. de Riant-Mont in Lausanne, but whatever...).

To ensure my continued forbearance with this situation, I am routinely bribed with the best of Swiss chocolates. And I am here to tell you that Scharffen Berger holds its own against the best of the best.

This chocolate bar is heaven for the lover of bitter-sweet chocolate. Glossy, dark, aromatic, the texture of this bar is smooth and silky. The flavor is exquisite, the coffee adding a decidedly interesting punch and a slight crunch to the experience.

And I can get this from Amazon??? OH! Thank you, Gods of Chocolate.... No more pining away on the steps of the local Post Office, shivering in the cold, waiting for the next... Read more

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
This is a delicious gourmet chocolate bar of dark chocolate with small bits of Sumatran coffee beans in it. The dark chocolate has great flavor and the coffee is a strong taste but it does not overpower or cover up the chocolate's taste. Very nicely balanced!

This bar is all natural having few ingredients: cacao beans, sugar, cocoa butter, cofee, non-GMO soy lecithin and whole vanilla beans. This product is gluten free.

Scharffen Berger is an American company founded by two California men. Using artisian chocolate making methods they craft chocolate in small batches using the best ingredients from around the world and with vintage European chocolate making equipment.

I have seen this company and their methods profiled on television food shows in the past, and what I recall is the committment to high qualiy ingredients and how the founders travel around the world shopping for the best ingredients offered in specific regions.

For years this... Read more
