About Dar Chocolate: Hi- we are Joel and Gila Dar. Currently, we are small-batch dark chocolate manufacturers in Denver Colorado. We never dreamed of owning our own chocolate factory. Our lives today are a mix of fate and fluke. A few years ago, we condensed our lives into a few suitcases and headed to California. We didn’t really know what we were going to do once we were there, but as it happened, we never got there… Call it fate, divine intervention, or just a fluke – something came up which forced us to change course, and go to Costa Rica instead. We thought it was only a detour, a pause in the “plan.” Little did we know that we would meet our destiny in Central America.
Between majestic mountains and pristine beaches, we had our very first encounter with the cacao plant.
Introduced to us as a “super-food”, the first time we tasted the cacao beans was in raw form- ground and mixed into a lightly sweetened smoothie. We were amazed at the rich, wild, and complex taste. You could say we fell in love – because most people don’t completely change plans to become chocolate makers after tasting a smoothie. (It was like meeting our very own chocolate therapist…)
We did though! So, enchanted and curious, we started traveling around Costa Rica to learn all we could about the cacao tree, its fruit, and the various stages cacao takes on its way to becoming the chocolate we were accustomed to consuming. We visited cocoa farms, met chocolate makers who work in different techniques and styles, and learned in-depth how to make hand-crafted chocolate. The result are our signature dark chocolate bars- shiny, snappy and perfectly delicious.
