Origin-Made Chocolate for Holiday Baking

The best holiday memories begin in the kitchen—long before anyone arrives at the table. Flavors and traditions passed through generations, favorite recipes, and must-have treats celebrate connection. Baking with origin-made chocolate deepens that connection, linking us with communities around the world who dedicate themselves to crafting food with care, often following family traditions of their own.

Whether you're trying a new recipe or hoping to recreate grandma’s magic, you don’t need Michelin-star skills to create something truly special. Sourcing farm-to-table chocolate and cacao directly from where it’s grown, like a pro, means you support farmers and makers at the heart of each ingredient—and you bring unmatched flavor and meaning to your own baking.

Chocolate chip cookies for sharing, brownies for a late-night indulgence, or a show-stopping dessert for your table — these origin-made ingredients will make your baking as rich as the memories you're creating.

Cacao Powder - 
for the Ultimate Chocolate Desserts

High-quality cacao powder is essential for the best chocolate flavor. With origin-made options, you get exceptional richness, freshness, and the true taste of fine cacao in every spoonful.

Choosing Your Cocoa Powder:

Natural Cocoa Powder: has bold, fruit-forward chocolate flavor and retains most of cocoa's healthy antioxidants. Perfect for chocolate frosting, pudding, flourless chocolate cake, dense fudgy brownies, and hot cocoa.
Alkalized or Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder: offers milder, lighter chocolate flavor with a darker color. Ideal for light, fluffy, or crispy baked goods—chocolate cakes, cupcakes, muffins, soufflés, and mousse.
