An American Artisan: The Scharffen Berger Chocolate Maker Story
America's first contemporary artisan chocolate manufacturer, SCHARFFEN BERGER Chocolate Maker set out to craft the richest, most flavorful chocolate by sourcing the best cacao in the world and blending it in small batches using vintage equipment.
SCHARFFEN BERGER Chocolate Maker was founded in 1997 by chocolate connoisseur Robert Steinberg and winemaker John Scharffenberger. The pair tested multiple combinations before perfecting a unique blend that highlighted the true flavor of cacao instead of masking it with sugar and other flavors. The result is an array of truly distinctive chocolates with balance and complexity — not unlike those found in exceptional wines.
As the first American "bean-to-bar" chocolate manufacturer in over 50 years, SCHARFFEN BERGER Chocolate Maker led this country's contemporary resurgence in artisan chocolate-making. It was also the first chocolate maker to label their chocolate with the percentage of cacao inside.
Today, SCHARFFEN BERGER Chocolate Maker travels the world to source the finest cacao. We select the best beans from small sustainable farms in fabled cacao-producing countries: Madagascar, Indonesia, Trinidad, Venezuela, Brazil, Guatemala, Vietnam, Grenada, Paupua New Guinea, Bali, Ghana and Peru. Of the more than 150 samples we taste each year, only a select few are chosen to become SCHARFFEN BERGER Chocolate. Beans from each region are picked for their unique flavor characteristics, and our roasting parameters are specially developed for each origin to bring out the best in each flavor. We blend these freshly roasted beans to produce our signature flavors, balanced and complex, highlighting the true, rich flavors of cacao.
This artisan process, honed with a wine-maker's attention to craftsmanship, results in the richest, most flavorful chocolate you've ever tasted.
Product Description

Oh My Yum! Wish I Had Never Tasted These--Too Good,

This review is from: Scharffen Berger Chocolate Bar, Markham Valley Semi-Sweet (68% Cacao), 3-Ounce Bars (Pack of 6) (Grocery)
It was Black Friday and I saw these on special. On a whim, I ordered them. I almost wish I hadn't. I don't know if I can ever go back. I hope Amazon starts offering these on subscribe & save.Really really good. Tastes much sweeter/creamier than I would expect for the percentage of cacao. I think these could easily become an affordable indulgence. About 1/3 of a bar is my limit, though. Enough to give me all the flavanoids and pleasure I want. Eat it slowly. Savor it. Great for any chocolate fan you know.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
A subsidiary of Hersheys, Scharffen Berger is a small company in San Francisco that actually makes chocolate, from the beans. It deals directly with the growers to select and purchase high quality cacao beans of specific origins. Scharffen Berger does not advertise its chocolate as "Fair Trade" chocolate, but has a policy of not buying beans from the west coast of Africa, where the industry is know to practice slavery and use child labor. Note: this chocolate is not labeled "organic." This chocolate bar is labeled as a semisweet "limited edition," single origin bar from Markham Valley, Papua, New Guinea with 68% cacao. Covering the preliminaries, the appearance is perfect, nice and firm with a smooth gloss. The bar breaks with a sharp snap, indicating proper tempering of the chocolate. The smell is of dark, intense chocolate. No kid stuff, here. Although labeled semisweet, 68% cacao is just 2% less that Sharffen Berger's bittersweet bar, with 70% cacao. On the tongue, the chocolate melts with a luxurious creaminess, totally smooth and rich. If you allow it to linger on your tongue, you do get hints of raisin and cherry. Isn't it interesting how chocolate can have these fruity, complex overtones, just like a good wine? The finish is of intense chocolate, as you would expect. This is high quality, serious, adult chocolate, good for a special occasion or when you need a real boost.

A different taste experience.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Scharffen Berger Chocolate Bar, Markham Valley Semi-Sweet (68% Cacao), 3-Ounce Bars (Pack of 6) (Grocery)
I purchased the special Amazon deal of 6 bars of Scharffen Berger Limited Edition Markham Valley Papua New Guinea 68% cacao. I was very much looking forward to a hugh taste experience since high cacao content is my taste preference and having the flavonoid properties.The bar breaks clean without tiny brittle pieces even though you have to use a little more strength to break your desired piece as compared to another cacao bar I will mention at the end of this review. The label states pleasantly creamy. I honestly think it tastes some time in your mouth before you notice the creamy taste. The label states notes of cherry and raisin. Well guess what, the second piece I tasted actually had notes of cherry and raisin. However, as I wrote in my title the overall general taste is very unusual unlike any high cacoa bar I've tasted before. The unique and unusual taste I find uninviting. Actually for me a disappointment since I am comparing this product to another I truly enjoy 100% each time I take a small healthful treat. The other cacao bar I prefer in taste is Green & Black's Organic 70% dark Chocolate. The pieces do not break clean like Scharffen Berger but it breaks easier. You get very tiny brittle pieces. The creamy taste is immediate in your mouth. The smooth chocolate taste is so pleasant and delicious, you want more and more. For these reasons Scharffen Berger gets 3 stars. I suggest you try both cacao bars and do your own taste test.
