Mutari Chocolate

We believe that less is more, and that using fewer and quality ingredients makes for the best chocolate experience. We specialize in traditional drinking chocolates as well as craft chocolate bars. At Mutari we sort the beans in house by hand, and work to source ethically traded and sustainably grown cacao from a variety of farmers and origins throughout the world. We then roast, crack, winnow, stone grind, conch and age the beans for over 48 hours. The result is a true to origin dark chocolate, to enjoy in all of it’s forms. Our hot and sipping chocolates are made, bottled, and served in cup at our factory, cafe, and shop located in Santa Cruz California.

Established in 2014.
We are Mutari Chocolate. We come from the hospitality world. We’ve been grinding it out in some of the country’s and world’s best kitchens, and helping form food movements that have transformed and shaped the very way we look at how our food is grown and produced in this country. We have no formal training, just an unending quest for unattainable perfection through repetition and dedication to our craft. We move through our lives with the ideals of treating our farmers with respect and with integrity while aiding in any way possible to help he or she become sustainable and profitable. We believe that less is more, and that using fewer and quality ingredients makes for the best chocolate experience.
