Escazú Chocolates

Escazú Chocolates We are a Bean to Bar to Confection chocolate maker-chocolatier located in Raleigh, NC. We carefully source high quality cacao beans from Latin America.
(402)

Our retail shop and factory is located at 2409 Crabtree Blvd. 919.832.3433 We then, sort the beans by hand, roast in an antique roaster, winnow and grind in an antique stone grinder, to make the chocolate. We then temper it and hand ladle it into the molds to make our bars that are later hand wrapped. From the day we start sorting until the bar is ready to be on a shelf is an 8 to 10 day process,

not counting aging time and from the sorting to the wrapping, our process is completely hand done. Our confections are made with our chocolate and local ingredients, we utilize Homeland Creamery Dairy, Big Spoon Nut Butters, Counter Culture Coffee... just to name a few.

When I was a kid, I remember discovering bubblegum ice cream at an Ice Cream shop in Bogotá, Colombia. I had never seen it before, we didn’t have it in Venezuela. Later on, I came to the US and I tasted it here, I just didn’t like it , it was too sweet and too… weird. I became an adult, with culinary knowledge and a more refined palate. So when I was approached by the team to make bubblegum Ice cream I told them; if we can figure out a way to do it with natural flavors and not have it be fake and weird, we’ll make it… they quickly came back with an answer and as I looked for ways to make it work with our recipe, I found a recipe by Dana Cree from pretty cool ice cream and I said, if Dana Cree makes it, we make it… So we took the ingredients that make it taste like bubblegum and made it with our custard ice cream recipe. So, if you are a bubblegum ice cream lover, come and get it!!!!

Happy Friday!!! Lately, I have been thinking about how lucky I am to come get to come to work with my friends, to make big decisions, to grow, to celebrate and to grieve with them. So I decided to pay a little tribute to the partnership that makes the backbone of Escazū.
It is crazy to think that 18 years ago Tiana came into Escazū to enjoy our chocolate as a customer, 12 years ago she came into Escazū as our employee and 8 years ago I chose her as my business partner… With her, we have had some hard times; like a little pandemic, a volatile cacao market, a 30% rent increase and a few other not fun things, with which we have pivoted, learned, pushed, taken chances, worked very hard, cried sad tears and cried happy tears. Through all of it, we have also had fun, grown as bosses, as people, as friends and as business partners.
I hope you enjoy a little bit of the many pictures I have of our Escazū adventures through the years!
