Small-batch, handcrafted chocolate made from organic and fair trade cacao.

Kiskadee Chocolates came about from a life-long passion for anything sweet. In 2003, after tasting handcrafted chocolate truffles given to me by my husband on our anniversary, I began my chocolate making journey.

After making truffles for friends and family for many years, my quest to delve more deeply into chocolate making led me to the Ecole Chocolat Bean-to-Bar program in Vancouver, Canada. I spent months tasting different chocolates from around the world and learning how to handcraft the chocolates in my home kitchen.

I began sourcing cacao beans, all shapes, sizes, and color, from Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. Through months and years of experimentation with roasting, cracking, winnowing and conching, I discovered each bean brings with it a multitude of unique flavors from the place where it was grown. Cacao harvested and fermented in Venezuela or Madagascar has a completely different taste, color, aroma, and texture than that grown in other tropical forests around the world.

Like the Kiskadee bird that flies through the canopy of the cacao forests, I offer the opportunity to experience the flora, fauna, wind, rain, and sun, that comes through in each taste of Kiskadee Chocolates.
