Chefs Chocolate Raising Funds For Restaurant Team Relief
Chocolate is social, it brings us together and calls up emotions. We believe in community. Two of the three of us were born in Boulder, Colorado. When we saw our food making community faced with such a bone rattling new now... & future, we offered chocolate. A way to offer our eating community pleasure & health, a way to offer our making community solidarity & resource. Our website is now offering 6 varieties of Fortuna Chocolate inspired by pantries across our community of makers. 50% of the sales will go directly to the furloughed team members represented in each of the new flavors.
SantoBoulder chose New Mexican Chile and we paired it with our Dark Milk Chocolate. Crafted with cacao from Chontalpa Mexico this chocolate is creamy, slightly sweet and spicy.
The team at Blackbelly were the very first restaurant to taste our chocolate, nearly five years ago. Since then we have collaborated on plated desserts, chocolate with the check, chocolate for catered events, chocolate by the pound, drinking chocolate for press events, chocolate for fundraisers... They are such a creative team and we appreciate you helping us send them some love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BlackbellyCo chose Vegetable Ash Salt for their chocolate and it is amazing mixed with our 75% Chontalpa Dark. A little bit of smoke and a little bit of salt make this dark chocolate truly unique.Arcana was one of our very first supporters, tasting our chocolate for use in the restaurant before they even opened their doors. We have been honored to watch them grow and become a powerful voice of high quality local food and positive team spirit.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@ArcanaRestaurant chose Benne Seeds for their chocolate and we blended it into our heirloom white chocolate for an amazing savory sided chocolate that will soon become a standard for all other white chocolate you taste.A new project by the team behind the beloved @bastaboulder and award winning @thewolfstailor - Dry Storage is a small bakery, coffee house and micro-mill, working with locally grown grain & serving small plates and cocktails. @Dry_Storage chose Puffed Quinoa for their flavor and we mixed it into a classic milk chocolate for a familiar (but so much better!!) flavor profile that is filled with nutritious grains and organic whole milk.
We believe in independent journalism. Committed to good quality and the love of a good story, the Comino team is a meaningful reflection for our beloved community of eaters. @CominoFoodStories chose spiced orange for their chocolate flavor and we produced a rich 65% semi sweet option to carry the complexity throughout your palette. 50% of the sales of this flavor goes to @sophiesneighborhood a brand new non-profit "dedicated to raising awareness and fundraising for research & development of a treatment and cure for a rare genetic disorder: Multicentric Carpotarsal Osteolysis (MCTO) Syndrome" and the family cause our our friends from both Blackbelly & Santo.
A brand new addition to the local food scene, Honey is an elixir bar focused on vitality and well being. In a very short time they have created an intensely gorgeous space and a menu that introduces a number of more unusual adaptogens and spirit enhancing compounds not typically found on other bar menus. A community space and one that has personal roots in their mission, Honey is a team that believes we are all magic. @HoneyElixirBar chose Mucuna for their chocolate and we followed their lead, blending them with a potent 80% cacao chocolate sourced directly from a small cooperative in Chontalpa, Mexico. Mucuna is a powerful herb (called a velvet bean!) that helps protect your body from the damaging effects of stress and is known to stimulate the pleasure centers in the brain.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
