They&#x27;re the real deal. If you go to their main store on Valencia you can see where they make the chocolate. It&#x27;s the big open space that&#x27;s directly behind the counter you order at. They regularly offer tours where you get a chance to see all of the steps involved. I took one of their tours a few years ago and we were even able to try the unroasted cocoa beans.<p>Unfortunately, because they buy and process relatively small batches of beans you might not be able to get more of a bar you really enjoy. Even if you see one with the same origin as a bar you&#x27;ve had before it might not be exactly the same since different batches may use different roasting parameters.
