About Loco

Chocolate is older than you think.

Three thousand years before chocolate became a bar, the people of Mesoamerica drank cacao as a sacred ritual. Loco takes its name — and its glyph — from that ancestry. We make chocolate the way it deserves to be made: slowly, by hand, from single-origin cacao.

Our process

Bean-to-bar, every bar.

We start with cacao beans from a single farm we know by name. We roast, crack, winnow, grind, conch, and temper in our own kitchen — no third-party manufacturing, no premade couverture, no cocoa butter substitutes. What you taste is the bean and nothing else.

What we believe

  • Single-origin

    We work with one farm at a time. The label tells you exactly where your cacao came from.

  • Small batches

    No bar is more than a few weeks old. We make small, we sell small, we never warehouse.

  • Fair to the farmer

    We pay above commodity price, direct to the grower. Real cacao only exists if growing it makes sense.
