  4. Other businesses I use

Chocolate on the web

  1. E. Guittard makes excellent chocolate
  2. Chocosphere sells Guittard varietal chocolate (buy the Ecuadorian)
  3. Scharffen-Berger fine chocolate

Here's a description of the E. Guittard variety that I swooned over.

The Ecuador Nacional cacao bean is a unique trinitario whose history is associated with the older cacao plantations in Ecuador. It has become a variety in its own right over a long period of time due to its uniqueness. It has traditionally been used as a key flavor bean in dark chocolate blends. Alone, Ecuador Nacional produces a chocolate that has strong, green herbal qualities, a spiciness, is more astringent than other cacao beans, and has no acidity. The flavors of Ecuador Nacional linger long in the mouth. Use this chocolate in desserts that have high butter and cream contents. [or just eat little bits of it until you pass out from joy.]
