What The Grenada Chocolate Company is known for
The Grenada Chocolate Company makes dark chocolate in Grenada using Grenadian cocoa. The business began in 1999 and connects cocoa growers with on-island chocolate production through a cooperative model. Its catalogue lists dark bars at cocoa percentages ranging from 60 to 100 percent, with factory visits still described as coming soon.
The Grenada Chocolate Company makes chocolate in the country where its cocoa is grown. Founded in 1999 by Mott Green with Doug Browne and Edmond Brown, it developed a cooperative approach linking growers with chocolate production. Its history follows the cocoa through fermentation and drying before roasting and chocolate making on the island. That gives the country of origin a practical meaning beyond a tropical image on a wrapper. The current catalogue lists dark bars at several cocoa percentages, including 60, 71 and 82 percent. A 100 percent bar offers another choice, while named varieties include Nib-A-Licious and Salty-Licious. Comparing those labels is useful when choosing between a sweeter dark chocolate and a more concentrated cocoa taste. A BBC Food Programme broadcast in 2013 documented Mott Green’s work and the cooperative’s history. That programme is historical evidence, not a description of today’s staff or shipping arrangements. The merchant currently labels tours and tastings as coming soon, so a chocolate purchase should not be planned around an assumed bookable factory visit.
