Scharffen Berger

Scharffen Berger Chocolate Maker was founded by long-time friends Robert Steinberg and John Scharffenberger to produce chocolate of the highest quality from the finest cacao beans.
In 1997, we made our first batch in the South San Francisco factory using vintage European equipment. It was delicious (even Julia Child loved it), but it took a series of further experiments before we could consistently make wonderful chocolate.

The secrets of our pure dark chocolate lie in careful attention to bean selection, blending, roasting, and conching, as well as the special care of small-batch processing.
