Revelstoke Chocolate Company
This is a story that I’ve heard too often. A small chocolate maker puts his heart and soul into making chocolate and building a company yet doesn’t quite make it. When I asked Roberto to meet while I was in Revelstoke in early 2024 he was confused. Why? Because I just love hearing the story behind the chocolate and the biggest part of that story is the chocolate maker. What brought you to make chocolate? How is it going? What’s next. Unfortunately I met Roberto just days before his departure back to the UK. He had sold his machinery and molds. We were tasting the last few bars of chocolate he made. Again, a story I hear all too often. So, that begs the question, what does it take to make it as a small chocolate maker? Is it skill? Marketing? Packaging? Distribution? A customer base? If you have ideas to share please chime in. For now I’m savoring the last bit of one of the last Revelstoke Chocolate bars. Tasting notes: Mineral and earthy with rising tannin on the finish.
