Common Heritage of Farming
When we found out that chocolate was grown in the tropics largely by rural, small multi-generational family farmers, our hearts were drawn to the common pride of growing something, by our common heritage of farming.
The Creo Story
We opened our workshop out of a lifetime enjoyment of learning how things are made. For several years we experimented with roasting beans, using our chocolate in every recipe we could imagine, eating our way through chocolate shops in North America and visiting cacao farms in Ecuador.
Farm Direct Sourcing
We were compelled to work with the farmer. So in 2014, we sold our small family farm with a desire to share this real craft chocolate with our family, friends, and community.
In our factory we roast, crack, winnow, grind, conch and temper small batches of cacao beans and then mold and package each bar by hand. Our beans are sourced directly from a farm and crafted to bring out the interesting flavors of the bean.
Integrity of Ingredients and a Quality Product
Having been farmers, our heart seeks out the source and integrity of ingredients, the connection with the grower, crafting a quality product and impacting the community. We carry these values with us as we make our chocolate. It is a part of who we are and what drives us.
Our family, their family, your family connected, making a difference in this world and putting a face on chocolate.
Thanks for joining us,
