About Us
Story of Wright Old School Chocolate
Spurred on by a desire to taste the boldest flavors from minimally processed cocoa nibs and unrefined sugar, my family encouraged me to offer bean-to-bar chocolate to others. Sampling beans from over 23 cacao farms, the search is for beans that are most friendly to the farmers and to our earth while providing all an eating pleasure with plenty of antioxidants.
With years of Quality experience and a background in chemistry, the chocolate making taps on these skills to hone the processes for taste, texture, and consistency.
On a personal note, the logo is from the middle name in my signature. With Old School coming from my basketball coaching at a Christian school and connoting care, technique, and a passion for excellence.
It is truly my desire to please customers like you with artisan chocolate bars.
Our Ingredients
Cocoa beans are sourced from selected farms from as far south as Madagascar to as far north as Hawaii with flavor tones you will not taste from large manufacturers of confectioneries. The second, and only other ingredient, is unrefined sugar. Both ingredients are combined and ground enough to become smooth without losing high note flavor tones in equipment that will never handle any other ingredients, specifically, any nuts.
Our Chocolates
Each bar is tempered for you to see and hear the vintage crystal structure that allows consumers to enjoy the flavors while melting in your mouth.
The chocolate bars will certainly be a treat for you and could be used as a thank you for your guests or clients with custom labeling option.
Each label includes 3 lines to describe the product:
- BEAN: defines the country and the cacao farm
- NOTES: flavors associated with the bean from terroir
- WEIGHT %: amount of chocolate in the product (cocoa nibs %)
