Meet Four Craft Chocolate Makers Decolonizing the Industry | Eater
"Led by a Honduran-born maker who centers drinking chocolate, this Sacramento operation treats cacao as heritage—part of family DNA rooted in Mesoamerican foodways. The founder frames kitchens as temples and pantries as altars, using music and ritual during roasting and grinding to honor ancestral memory. The business prioritizes slow, relationship-driven sourcing with small, local partners over industrial scale, rejects fitting into a white, male-dominated craft-chocolate model, and calls for sustained, culturally informed partnerships that recognize and support Indigenous survival and traditional practices." - Jinji Fraser
