Gourmet Baking Chocolate

A large number of the companies that we sell offer amazing baking chocolate. Below is a list of those companies.

Guittard Baking Chocolate
Guittard is one of the elite baking chocolate companies in the world.  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.

information he approached his friend, John Scharffen Berger former owner of Scharffen Berger Wineries.
