People wandered in from every part of the world - the movers and shakers, the brightest stars of the craft chocolate movement- those who work the soil, fix the wells, the roasters, the finishers. A million excited conversations and connections buzzing in the air - Our hearts full- and every ...bit of chocolate tasted. like going to church for us all. There are just waaayyyy too many stories and photos to post here - but here are a few old friends and new. We can’t wait to see you all again next year! Until then, our hearts are out there with you, growing, experimenting and creating.

For those of you who don’t already know us, Chocolate Covered is a tiny but mighty little shop in San Francisco that features the widest variety of craft bean-to-bar chocolates in the country, it’s a total game changer in the chocolate world. These chocolates come from both local chocolatiers as well as from across the United States, Canada, England, France, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Eastern Europe, South America, Mexico, the Philippines, Vietnam, Japan, Africa, the Middle E...ast, and more. The owner, Jack, has tasted it all and knows a thing or two about great chocolate. There is literally something for everyone..from single Origin beans to fancy inclusion such as chili, olives & bread, blue cheese, pears and toasted almonds to artisanal milk chocolates. Everything here will set your soul on fire.

It seems like a perfect storybook tale, In an epic move from the clang and clutter of the Bay Area, David and Leslie moved Arete Fine Chocolate to a tiny beautiful town called Spencer, with rolling hills and big dreamy cloud filled blue skies, each building rich with history. As we strolled through the new home of Areté -listening to David as he talks about hopes, dreams and taking root...we were so impressed at the thought, care and dedication taken to repair and add upgrades to the worn but soulful old brick building in which magic will soon be made. Areté will be in full production as soon as mid September - we can’t wait to have them back #dreambig #lifeissweet

Every time I eat this Solstice 70% bar made with a Ugandan bean, while it taste delicious- I have more of an emotional daydreamy experience.. The minute this lil square of lovely hits my tongue and starts to melt .. I feel like I can smell honeysuckles and green grass and warm sun, maybe like I’m laying in a field with butterflies and flowers and good friends. ... This bar is really and truly worth the trek to get your hand on.
