Kasama Chocolate

Kasama Chocolate is an artisan bean-to-bar chocolate maker rooted in Vancouver, Canada. Operating out of their workspace on Granville Island, they embrace a hands-on approach to production, managing the transformation of cacao from raw beans into finished bars. Their identity is defined by a commitment to the craft of small-batch chocolate making, where every step of the process is handled with intention and care.

The chocolate produced by Kasama focuses on revealing the distinct personality of the regions where their cacao is harvested. Rather than masking the profile of the beans, their technique aims for clarity, allowing the natural brightness, earthiness, or floral notes of the origin to shine through. The result is a sensory experience that shifts from bar to bar, offering a varied journey for those interested in the complexities of single-origin cacao.

Ethics and transparency form the backbone of their operation. Kasama Chocolate practices direct trade, working closely with their partners to source high-quality beans. By prioritizing direct relationships with farmers and cooperatives, they aim to ensure that the people who cultivate the cacao are supported fairly, while simultaneously guaranteeing the quality of the raw material that enters their Vancouver facility.
