Those of you who follow us on Facebook or Twitter may have seen me mention that I’ve been working on a couple new bars based on our Upala beans. I’m happy to announce that they are done and are now available! Upala 82% Our Upala 82% is a descendant of the bar we presented at […]
It’s been a long time coming, and we’re happy to announce that our first bar, the Upala 70%, is now available for ordering! This is the bar that debuted on Saturday at Biagio in DC, and the bar that was just announced as a finalist in the 2011 Good Food Awards. It’s smooth and dark […]
A while ago, we sent off a few of our still-in-development Upala 70% bars to the Good Food Awards. As it turns out, over 130 other chocolate makers also entered, including a few of our favorites.

Well, we (finally) got that final confirmation last week, so here goes. Potomac Chocolate […]
After careful deliberation, Ben and I have decided on the bean for our first real bar. Clearly you all have been hearing about our work with the Ivory Coast, Madagascar, and Hispaniola beans. Each of these beans have their unique qualities, and I am sure we will work with them in the future; however, we […]
