Chocolate Tour of Utah – Day 5

It’s been a whirlwind week visiting the wonderful world of chocolate making in Utah. A special shout out to all those companies who hosted and delighted us with their chocolate and other creations. Utah truly is a chocolate mecca and our only wish is that we could have visited all of them. But the upshot is that YOU can conduct your own chocolate tour and discover what we missed. Again, Utah is home to more than 30 chocolate confectioners and bean-to-bar producers. There is something for everyone here, not only in Utah but across the world. We’ll list them all again at the bottom.

Ritual Chocolate

Our final stop on the Tour was at Ritual Chocolate in Park City. This bean-to-bar roaster’s store had one of the richest smells of all our visits. The store was packed and bustling with activity as patrons were parked for one of their many delightful hot drinks while others browsed their product line of bars. All were mesmerized by their open-view, small-batch manufacturing process that we got our own little private tour of. Their backend operations followed the pattern of classic European processes where each stage is managed independently. They like it that way and maintain that it’s the secret to their success.

Founded in 2010 by Robbie Stout and Anna Davies, Ritual’s mission is to produce exceptional quality chocolate while celebrating the complexity of the cacao bean. No added flavors are necessary as their chocolate is an authentic expression of the flavor unique to each bean’s source. If you are in Park City, drop in and you won’t be disappointed – Robbie and Anna are wonderful hosts and love talking chocolate with their customers.
