When it comes to quality and taste, handmade chocolate often stands out from the crowd. However, these artisanal treats can also come with a higher price tag. So, what makes handmade chocolate so pricey? Let's take a look.
Quality Ingredients
The cornerstone of exquisite handmade chocolate is high-quality ingredients. At Krak Chocolade, we use only the finest cacao beans sourced sustainably from small farms. We also avoid additives and fillers common in mass-produced chocolate. Our commitment to quality means a slightly higher price but an unmatched flavor.
Time and Craftsmanship
Handmade chocolate requires an immense amount of time, skill, and dedication. From bean selection to tempering the chocolate, each stage of the process demands meticulous care and attention. The result is a product that's as much an art form as it is a delicious treat.
Sustainability and Fair Trade
We're dedicated to ethical sourcing and fair trade practices. This means paying a fair price for our cacao beans, which helps support small-scale farmers and contributes to sustainable farming practices. While this may add to the cost of our chocolate, we believe it's a price worth paying for the positive impact it has on people's lives and the environment.
Small Batch Production
Handmade chocolate is often produced in small batches. This allows for a greater focus on quality control and ensures that every piece of chocolate meets our high standards. However, small batch production doesn't benefit from the economies of scale that large manufacturers enjoy, which can lead to higher costs per bar.
