Hallot Parson is our co-founder
and chocolate maker. He has a background as a chef
which
drew him to start this chocolate business with
Robert and Celia. During a visit to Costa Rica,
Hallot met
an organic cacao farmer who was also beginning to
grind his own chocolate. This visit, coupled with
independent study was the launching point for our
own bean to bar chocolate production.
Hallot does everything from sourcing and roasting
the beans, to cleaning and building the equipment
we
use in our process. He also makes the bars and
frequently wraps them, by hand!
When he is not in the workshop making chocolate or
bars, he is at the retail shop taking care of our
customers.
