Most of the chocolate that we eat is made by big companies. They mix low-quality cocoa beans from all over the world and then overroast them and add a ton of sugar, fake vanilla, cocoa butter and other additives to make the taste and texture the same each time.

Trust us, making chocolate starting only with cacao beans is truly a remarkable feat.
