After nearly a decade of partnership with a curated roster of award-winning chocolate makers, top specialty retailers and enthusiastic chocolate lovers, Bar Cacao brings this collective passion and wisdom online in creating a new supportive retail outlet for all. Bar Cacao’s website now features a Makers Marketplace, a Retailers Marketplace, an Event Calendar, and Choco-Lit resources. These features help support chocolate makers, retailers, and lovers in completing the new craft chocolate supply chain by consuming craft chocolate.

Bar Cacao will be promoting the launch of its chocolate marketplace with a series of Meet Your Maker online tasting events with partners Dick Taylor Craft Chocolate, Fruition Chocolate, and Ritual Chocolate. Each Thursday evening in June, a Bar Cacao chocolate-making partner will join Founder Jessica Ferraro in an online happy hour open to all.

Exclusive savings seal a positive deal for all.

Bar Cacao’s Retailers Marketplace features targeted specialty grocers who partner with Bar Cacao in supporting curated craft chocolate programs. Retailer profiles, shipping and delivery options, special offers and recommendations allow shoppers to add a fine selection of craft chocolate to their baskets while shopping for specialty groceries in person or online.
