About Dandelion Chocolate
Founded in San Francisco in 2010, Dandelion Chocolate handles every step of the chocolate-making process in-house — from sourcing single-origin cacao beans and sorting, roasting, and grinding them, through to tempering, molding, and packaging. No unnecessary additives are used, and each piece is crafted by hand at the factory.
The result is an exceptionally smooth texture and a richly layered flavor drawn directly from the cacao itself.
