The factory was founded by Alex Whitmore in 2005 and is home to over 40 different products that can be found in 2,800 retail stores across the country.[2] HistoryAlex Whitmore founded Taza Chocolate in 2005 after a trip to Oaxaca, Mexico where he first encountered stone ground chocolate. He learned from a molinero in Oaxaca authentic Mexican techniques, such as how to grow cacao beans and how to hand-carve granite millstones. The first batch of Taza Chocolate was created in Whitmore’s kitchen, using simple and traditional Mexican processes with stone mills. After building out a factory space in Somerville, Massachusetts in 2006, Whitmore acquired a mix of traditional and vintage machinery, including stone mills from Oaxaca,[3] an Italian winnower from Dominican Republic, and a Barth Sirocco roaster from Italy.[4] The cacao beans were initially bought from brokers, but Whitmore later traveled through Central and South America and the Caribbean in search of farmers who could work directly with him. Whitmore and his co-founder and wife, Kathleen Fulton, have maintained a Direct Trade relationship with every cacao grower from where they source the cacao beans. Taza Chocolate is sold across the United States and in certain countries abroad. Direct trade processTaza Chocolate uses Certified USDA organic, non-GMO cacao that grow directly from the trunk and branches of cacao tree.[5] ProductsTaza sells a variety of chocolates in bars and discs, including:[6] The Amaze Bars: Stone ground chocolate combined with other flavors
