Taza Chocolate

Taza Chocolate is located in Somerville, MA. Taza is the only maker of 100% stone ground chocolate in the United States, and they're right down the street from our warehouse! They source organically grown cacao beans directly from small farmer coops, and they ensure those farmers receive more than fair trade prices for their high quality cacao. They now have a factory store and scheduled factory tours, be sure to stop by one day and check out their operation. You can order the grocery add-ons from this supplier on our Order Grocery Add-Ons page.
