Thanks for the kind comments Sierra.

Time Magazine Story

Time magazine just wrote a story on chocolate that included Amano. That’s hitting the big time.

There is one bit of confusion in the article we should clear up. A few people mentioned to me that they thought the Craft Chocolate Makers of America was an association that Amano and others had created to make chocolate together. That’s not the case. Each member of the CCMA makes their own chocolate. We and the other artisan chocolate makers wanted was an organization to help explain what artisanal chocolate making is about as well as to create an organization through which we could coordinate on supply issues, manufacturing practices and to promote the art of creating chocolate from the cocoa bean. The CCMA website explains our goals and provides information about each of its members. Each member of the CCMA makes their own chocolate starting with roasting their own beans and then through traditional methods turn them into chocolate.

Park City Utah with its great ski resorts has always had great restaurants. But there’s a definite drive by many small artisanal food makers to make Utah a destination for food.
