A history as rich as the chocolate

Welcome to Californio Chocolate, a place where your taste buds are piqued by bold and beautiful flavors and met with a rich and widely untold history. Mexican cacao’s origin story has often faded in the background–we’re bringing it back into the spotlight.

Get transported through history and rediscover real chocolate.

From the farms of Mexico straight to your doorstep

Our single-origin Mexican cacao arrives from our premier partner dried and fermented. We then roast the cacao beans in small batches and hand-crafted to ensure the highest quality. All ingredients are added dry to maintain their natural state. The end result? The smooth, amazing richness and flavor of heirloom Mexican cacao.

  • "From the first bite, I could taste the authenticity that makes Mexican chocolate so special. I encourage others to embark on this flavorful journey."
