The reasons we’ve stuck with Callebaut are simple: We’ve also incorporated more sustainable varieties-including organic and fair-trade chocolate-while still maintaining that delicate balance. Since 2004, the chocolate we’ve used in our truffles, caramels, and other confections has been sourced from the world famous Callebaut Chocolatier-founded in Belgium in the late 1800’s.īelgian chocolate is produced from cocoa beans from three countries: Ivory Coast, Ghana, and Ecuador, giving it a balanced flavor that our customers have come to love.

Butter from Casco Bay Creamery in Scarborough.

Sea salt from Marshfield for our caramels and caramel sauce.

Allagash Black beer in our stout truffles.

Organic maple syrup from Madison in our maple truffles.

Locally sourced Maine blueberries in our blueberry truffles.Of course, we can’t get locally grown cacao (our summer growing season is too short) and we haven’t tried adding lobster to our chocolate-not yet anyway!

We’re lucky to live in a state with an incredible history-and a wealth of resources. No secret – our chocolate is extraordinary because our ingredients are extraordinary.
