We're starting to get on a roll now with doing these podcasts weekly. On this episode, we take a trip through the city of Cajamarca, Peru. We both met our lovely wives in Cajamarca. Brian lived in Cajamarca with his family for 15 years, splitting time between there and the jungle for 10 of those years. I lived there for several years myself. It is an extremely charming and fascinating city, an...

Brian tells stories about life in campo buying and processing cacao.

An episode about buying cacao in Peru and all the hard work that entails.

In this episode we talked about the best way to do business in a completely foreign environment. The most important thing to realize is that it is the outsider who needs to adapt to the locals, not the other way around. There is no surer, faster way to alienate the community you want to win over than attempting to impose your beliefs on them. And in order to really understand local customs and cul...

Brian and Adam share some of their favorite memories from 15 years in the chocolate business.

It is deeply underappreciated how big a role logistics play in the life of each and every one of us. Just about everything that keeps us alive gets to us on a truck or on a boat. It comes from some of the world's 8 billion people and goes to some of the other 8 billion people, traveling from one place to another, along roads and across oceans, frequently traveling thousands upon thousands of m...

In our latest episode, we discuss how recent world events are dramatically aggravating supply chain issues. We also talk about bribes. It is a little hard for Americans to get our head around, but bribes are a normal part of doing business in Peru. Brian talks about several of his bribe negotiations and it is pretty funny. There is much more and I honestly think it is a funny and interesting episo...

Yesterday, I did something that I haven't done in more than 5 years. I rewatched the Peru episode of Parts Unknown with Anthony Bourdain. I bought the season on Amazon Prime, but it is available for free on Youtube as well. Back in 2013, Anthony Bourdain, Eric Ripert, and one other partner decided to buy chocolate from us and launch a chocolate bar. They wanted to do that because Eric Ripert, who...

On this episode we meet with Luka and Daniel Church. Luka is our new 5 year old chocolate taster! And Daniel is his dad, a friend, and customer...not as exciting as being the official chocolate taster, but still good.  Tune in and enjoy!

In this episode, we discuss what it is like getting ready for a new cacao harvest!

Hello and good day! On our latest episode of the Chocolate Bros podcast we discuss supply chain issues and the new products we'll be making available in 2022. Regarding the supply chain, it is precisely due to supply chain issues that we ran out of 68% dark chocolate recently. In short, we had a container of cacao arrive at the port of Rotterdam on September 4th. Normally, it would clear customs a...

We go deep on lessons learned from running a chocolate company for more than a decade.
