AWARDS:

Everyone on our team loves to create new confections! In 2018, we started to invite the scrutiny of chocolate professionals by entering a few competitions.  Since that time, we have been recognized 26 times in the following events:

In July 2025, we won the top spot in the Best Vegan Chocolates competition, held by the International Chocolate Salon in San Francisco. With the gold, for our Double Yuzu Chocolate, we also won a bronze for our Mango Sticky Rice chocolate.  Both of these will join two other new chocolates to form our first ever Vegan Chocolatier’s Choice mini collection.  The collection will be available after Labor Day.

   

In December 2024, we won two out of the four medals awarded to all United States entrants at the Academy of Chocolate competition in London. Our winners were from our third Chocolatier’s Choice collection,  Cassis Elderflower and Raspberry Sage, both done in dark chocolate.

   

In December 2023, we won six medals from the Academy of Chocolate, London, UK.  This is our third year entering this competition, and the first where we received a Gold medal, for our Yuzu Nougat (Chocolatier's Choice collection).  We received four Silver medals, for Blueberry Corn (Chocolatier's Choice collection), Passion Fruit Vanilla, Prickly Pear Mango and Peppermint Crunch.  And a Bronze medal for Lime Habanero Cashew (Chocolatier's Choice collection).  A total of six US-based chocolatiers won 16 medals this round.

In January 2023, we won five medals in the 2022 Academy of Chocolate competition.  Two Silver medals for Miso Sesame (Chocolatier's Choice collection) and for Pistachio Rapsberry.  And three Bronze medals for Almond Calamansi (Chocolatier's Choice collection), Pineapple Black Pepper, and Coffee Toffee (Mini Mendiant).  To put these awards in perspective, only four US-based chocolatiers (including us) won a total of 10 medals. 

In November 2022, our Pistachio Raspberry chocolate received a Gold medal at the largest US-based competition, the NW Chocolate Alliance Global Awards.

In November 2021, we were honored to receive three Bronze medals (out of 4 chocolates submitted) on our first foray competing at the Academy of Chocolate, London .  The winning chocolates were Turkish Coffee, Yuzu Honey and Bananas Foster.  Including us, only 6 US-based chocolatiers received a total of 11 medals in this global event.

In late 2020, we won a Silver medal for our Pecan Pralines mendiant with chipotle (NW Chocolate Alliance Global Awards). Earlier in 2020, we were a finalist in the Good Food Awards for our Vegan Hazelnut Crème.

In 2019, we received a Silver for our Pistachio Raspberry chocolate;  and a Bronze for our Almond Citrus chocolate (both in the International Chocolate Awards/Americas competition).  And a Bronze for our Lime Habanero chocolate (in the International Chocolate Salon/Spicy chocolate competition).

And locally, in the 2018 Chocolate Lovers Fling, we received Best Specialty and the People's Choice awards for our Salted Caramel Crunchy Planet.

But we want to keep these accolades in perspective!  As we write in one of our blog entries:  "ultimately, we know it is you, our customers, who decide on the excellence of our confections, but it isn't bad to know we also belong in that bigger world."
