Askinosie Chocolate - Vendor Profile

Askinosie Chocolate

Askinosie Chocolate is a small-batch chocolate manufacturer sourcing 100% of their beans directly from the farmers. Shawn Askinosie travels to regions of Mexico, Ecuador, and the Philippines to work directly with the farmers and source cocoa beans for their chocolate. This allows the chocolate to be traced to the source and labeled Authentic Single Origin Chocolate. It also enables them to profit share with the farmers, giving them a Stake In the Outcome™. The Askinosie Chocolate mission is to serve their farmers, their neighborhood, their customers, and each other; sharing the Askinosie Chocolate Experience by leaving this world a better place than they found it.

Askinosie Chocolate is the only small-batch American chocolate maker making white chocolate from scratch and the only ones making cocoa powder from scratch -- from the bean. They were the first small-batch American chocolate makers to press their own cocoa butter.

In June 2009, Askinosie's San Jose Del Tambo 70% Dark Chocolate was awarded a Silver sofi™ Award at the NASFT's Fancy Food Show in New York City.

Askinosie Chocolate is located at 514 E. Commercial Street, Springfield, MO 65803 United States
