Artisan Chocolate

What is Artisan Chocolate?

This chocolate is a type of chocolate that is made in small batches using high-quality, natural ingredients. The beans are typically roasted, ground, and conched by hand, and the chocolate is often flavored with natural ingredients such as fruits, spices, or nuts. Artisan chocolate is typically more expensive than mass-produced but is usually considered higher quality.
