The Three Powerful Ingredients in Our Chocolate
At Santa Barbara Chocolate, we believe there are three powerful ingredients that define our company’s legacy and chocolate products:
- Customers Who Know Their Chocolate
We work with chefs, food artisans, and home bakers who expect consistency and flavor from every batch of chocolate. Our clients are aware of what they want; that knowledge drives us to maintain the high quality and the rigorous standards. - California Flavor Profile
Rooted in California’s fresh and vibrant food culture, our chocolate draws inspiration from the natural surroundings and bold culinary influences of the region. Whether it's our vegan chocolates or fruit-filled creations, the balance of flavor shows this unique profile. - Quality Chocolate
From 100% cacao to couverture chocolate, each product is made with high cocoa content, minimal processing, and ethically sourced ingredients. This combination results in chocolate that’s rich, balanced, and versatile for baking or direct use.
European Roots with a California Spirit
Santa Barbara Chocolate started with a vision shaped by the ageless European approach to chocolate manufacture—refined methods, small-batch production, and meticulous attention to detail. Although our origins are in Europe, the vitality of California fuels the inventiveness behind every bar and bulk chocolate slab we produce.
We have a team of experts that can source cacao from sustainable farms, break down the chemistry of couverture, and make dependable ingredients for commercial and residential kitchens alike.
Quality and Health in Every Bite
When someone tastes truly high-quality chocolate, there’s no mistaking it. The melt, the scent, and the texture all suggest something deliberately crafted. Santa Barbara Chocolate gives ingredients that enhance both taste and nutritional value top priority.
Our organic chocolate line, vegan options, and 100% pure cacao products reflect a commitment to clean-label recipes. With no artificial flavors or fillers, these chocolates cater to chefs and consumers seeking products that align with wellness and ingredient transparency.
Our High Flavanol Cocoa Powder and Cacao Powder Vegan 2 lb Bag contain cocoa in its purest form, making them great for people who want to cook or bake with healthier ingredients.

Gourmet Gifting and Natural Ingredients
Santa Barbara Chocolate offers more than just presentation as a gift. Behind every box is a carefully chosen set of real ingredients, like California nuts that have been lightly toasted, dried fruits, and chocolates with clean labels. When making truffles or crunchy butter toffee, the focus is always on flavor harmony and purity.
Chocolate truffles, nougatine clusters, and seasonal gift sets are available year-round and can be customized for corporate or personal gifting needs. These collections reflect the same values as our wholesale offerings: authentic taste, artisan craftsmanship, and minimal processing.
How Cacao Shapes What We Do
Cacao is the core of our purpose not only the basis of chocolate. Our cacao comes from ethical farms emphasizing long-term sustainability. We help developing communities by means of fair pricing and regular buying, therefore preserving access to certain of the most tasty beans in the world.
Because of this focus on cacao, we've come up with new products like our High Polyphenol Cocoa Powder and Criollo Chocolate Chips, which keep a lot of the antioxidant properties that cocoa originally had. With more people interested in functional foods and ingredients that are high in nutrients, our cacao-first approach continues to serve the wellness and food markets.
