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.


  • Nibby combines the honey overtones of semisweet chocolate with the delicious and crunchy texture of roasted cacao beans, also known as nibs.
  • Created using the world's best cacao beans blended in small batches on vintage European equipment.
  • Perfect for holiday snacking

4.0 out of 5 stars Deep Chocolate Taste - Couple of Too Hard Nibs Brought It Down to 4 Stars, November 14, 2011

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
This is a delicious gourmet chocolate candy bar of dark chocolate with small bits of cacao nibs in it. The bar is 62% cacao. The dark chocolate has great flavor and the tiny nibs give an even stronger general chocolate taste. This packs a punch and has a deep chocolate taste, deeper than a regular plain dark chocolate bar.

As to the texture I will say this. Anyone who wants a creamy smooth candy bar should not eat bars with any solid things in them, whether they are nuts, coffee beans or cacao nibs. So, I knew before I ate this bar that it had small pieces of solid food in it, so a texture of cacao nibs in the bar came as no surprise to me nor was it perceived as negative by me. The nib pieces are quite small and I found them a delicious addition to the candy bar. In the past I have eaten cacao nibs straight, and found them chalky and weird, but that same sensation and taste was not present in this Scharffen Berger bar because the sweetened dark chocolate candy that...

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
I am a fan of dark chocolate and of Scharfeen Berger, so I was not surprised at the quality of these bars. The chocolate itself is creamy and flavorful and the nibs add just a bit of crunch and extra flavor to make it wonderful all around. Dark chocolate does have some health benefits, and, for chocolate lovers, it's certainly much better for you than the sweetened milk chocolates that are in most candy bars. The flavor of this bar is such that I believe it would be enjoyable even for those who typically don't like their chocolate too dark. Buying 6 at a time, though, is asking for trouble - they are hard to resist.

Scharffen Berger Nibby Dark Chocolate / B005NUAOG2

I really like dark chocolate, but these bars were *almost* too dark for my taste. I say *almost* because I've kept eating on them, so I must like them, but a little bit goes a long way! The chocolate nibs embedded in the bar have a rich flavor and a wonderful texture -- like darker, richer rice cereal embedded in the chocolate, or possibly crumbly small nuts -- and they add a lot to the taste and experience.

If there's anything I don't like about these bars, it would be that they're really big (good!) but the packaging doesn't really lend itself to re-wrapping and storage. With chocolate as deep and rich as this, you're probably not going to be able to finish the whole bar in one sitting, so remember to have something on hand to store the rest in until the next time you want to eat. If it were a perfect world, I'd prefer to buy these in smaller quantities, or possibly with deeper indents so that it's easy to... Read more
