This is specifically for NYC people. In Ridgewood Queens there is a hole in the wall high quality chocolate shop.
Itās run by an eccentric and amazing man named Constantine and his wife. He will talk your ear off for a half an hour about āthe benefitsā of chocolate and how itās a panacea for pretty much everything. How big chocolate gives away most of the cocoa butter to the cosmetic industry. Heāll also talk to you about how he asks ChatGPT about chocolate and itās wrong a lot of the time.
Youāll then buy a bar even though itās small and $10. But you will go home and have a little piece after dinner and never taste chocolate the same way againā¦
Their sheer passion to end slavery and exploitation in the cocoa industry is inspiring. I also think that their branding is awesome, and the chocolate is actually really good.
I'm not from the US, so getting this chocolate is costly... but I will never go back to purchase other chocolates. I'm really devoted to them now.
My bf got this variety pack from a recent trip, and my family and I were blown away!! I already purchased another thru amazon :)
We're long overdue in thrusting "What do you do?" into the sea forever. It's time we collectively get down to what people are interested in instead of minimizing their vibrant existence by asking how they make money.
