Guittard Chocolates & Chocolate Bars
In the 1850's, Etienne Guittard embarked on an arduous journey from France to America. It was during the California
Gold Rush, and in just a few short years, while still in his twenties, this adventuresome Frenchman struck gold on the
rough and tumble streets of early San Francisco.
An experienced chocolate maker, Etienne had brought delicious French chocolate to trade for mining supplies, but
soon discovered that wealthy miners were willing to pay premium prices for this elegant treat. Etienne sailed back to
Tournus, France, where he worked in his uncle's chocolate factory until he could afford to buy his own chocolate
making equipment. In 1868, he returned to San Francisco and opened Guittard Chocolate on Sansome Street.

Art Historian Erika Fowler-Decatur founded Ithaca Fine Chocolates with her husband, Michael Decatur.
The couple, originally from Endwell, NY, moved from San Francisco, CA, to Ithaca, NY, in March 2001,
to raise their son near family. Fowler-Decatur, a former museum director and art history instructor,

artists with broader exposure.
