Darkins

Darkins is a bean-to-bar chocolate maker based in India. Operating as an artisanal producer, the company emphasizes a direct approach to chocolate making, overseeing the process from the raw cacao bean through to the finished bar.

The company produces chocolate with a focus on capturing the specific character of their chosen cacao. By managing the transformation within their own facility, they aim to highlight the nuances inherent in the beans they select, maintaining control over roasting and grinding parameters to shape the final texture and profile of their chocolate.
