Potomac Chocolate is a small American craft chocolate maker in Woodbridge, Virginia.

In my absurdly small workshop, I transform ethically sourced raw cacao into award-winning craft chocolate. My process has one goal: to create delicious bean-to-bar chocolate that highlights the unique flavors of each cacao origin. Learn more about Potomac Chocolate or my chocolate making process.

Just realized that my last post was from when we w Just realized that my last post was from when we were closed due to a huge water leak, which was just the latest thing in a crazy busy few months. Before that was the DC Chocolate Festival, Occoquan's Riverfest and Craft Show, a personal trip to Boise for a friend's wedding, and the DMV Spring Chocolate and Coffee Festival. We were just getting caught up when I came in to a couple inches of water on the floor in about half the factory. That required being closed and out of operation for a few days and for some of the floor to be ripped out and replaced. It was not a fun time. Since then we've been playing catch-up, as well as another personal trip, hosting a small concert for one of our favorite musicians in the factory (more in this in an upcoming post), as well as having cataract surgery! I've been working on a bunch of new stuff, including a new bars, some new bonbon flavors, and a few new gelato flavors. Anyway, just wanted to post to let you all know that we're here and going strong. Our Occoquan shop is open 7 days a week--stop by and say hi! 😀
Our Occoquan shop will be closed today (6/13) and Our Occoquan shop will be closed today (6/13) and tomorrow (6/14) as we replace the flooring in the two main factory rooms. #waterleakssuck

Back at the factory for a little after-hours sourd Back at the factory for a little after-hours sourdough bread dough shaping. These loaves are now in the fridge for an overnight cold rise. I will be baking them tomorrow morning. Most of this bread will be made into breadcrumbs for our You Bread My Mind bar, but at least one will be coming home with me. 😀 #potomacchocolate #handcrafted #craftchocolate #beantobar #sourdough #bread #shaping
