Chocoville only sells small-batch artisanal chocolate

The reason why? You know why, it doesn't have the additives and chemicals you get in chocolate from the chain stores like you see in the shopping malls. Small-batch artisanal chocolate has to be fresh, and fresh is good. The mall chocolates are made in factories and sit on shelves and in trucking depots, Chocoville's chocolate is all chipped directly from the chocolatier with not warehousing and store basement storage.

Intellectual honesty, truth about chocolate

Making chocolate in large batches, for example the bars at the checkout counter in the supermarket and the pretty boxes sold at the fancy shopping mall stores is a world apart from the fine quality and goodness of small-batch. It's like the difference between eating at one of those all-you-can-eat places where they uses lots of fillers and cheap ingredients and eating in a four star restaurant, if you can afford the good stuff you don't want food fillers.

What exactly is artisanal chocolate?

Artisanal small batch chocolate means Gaspare doesn't have tanks the size of gasoline stations pumping additives into your chocolate. We are more of the slow food mindset, keeping the process as well as the ingredients natural. We believe it's about keeping the humanity in chocolate and chocolate making. Intellectual honesty and humanity is the main mantra around here.

Ingredients matter

The big secret is not only the slow and careful production it's also the selection of ingredients. And the balancing of the flavors. A huge amount of attention goes into achieving subtle textures and a pleasing mouthfeel, you can't achieve this with cheap ingredients. Why do so many love receiving chocolate from Chocoville as a gift, it's the experience of discovering something new, sharing the experience with friends and most of all that "ah-ha" moment when it all comes together.

Handcrafting matters

You, like us, are a chocolate aficionado, you know the difference between the mouthfeel of artisanal chocolate and can no longer imagine why you liked the chocolate from the industrial shops. It's time to trade up and be careful with your health.

Expertise matters

Bottom line, we're one of the few and lucky ones who operate a steady and healthy small business. We're lucky because we care about what we offer because we care about giving you that magic feeling you get when your tongue feels one of our goodies warm on your tongue to the point where your olfactory senses kick in and the warm "I'm happy all over" feeling begins. The natural thobromine from the cacoa tree present in your chocolate then takes over. Did you know that researchers are still trying to figure out all the good things that can be done with the thobromine in chocolate, their believing it may have anti-carcinogenic properties and other healthy effects could be an added plus to the enjoyment we receive today.

Of course you and I always knew that chocolate has magic qualities of we wouldn't be here today.
