TCHOPro: What Chefs are Saying

TCHO is magic! At Stellina it's all about the ingredients - where they come from and how they are produced. TCHO creates beautiful, consistent chocolate backed with conscious ethics and an inspiring commitment to quality.

— Laura Matis, Executive Pastry Chef, Osteria Stellina

One of the reasons that I use TCHO chocolate is that I am a curious baker. I like to be able to follow the foods that I use all the way to the source and TCHO chocolate, aside from being right here in San Francisco, allows me to "trace" it's chocolate all the way to the bean. That and the fact that these are some of the most intensely flavorful chocolates that I have come across in some time. I love working with them (and eating them, I'll be honest) and I am eager to see what comes next!

— Amy Marietta Brown, Executive Pastry Chef, NOPA

I use TCHO in my arsenal of products for its unique approach to chocolate. Specific qualities from each of the TCHOPro products have helped enliven desserts and bring out aspects that may be too subtle by themselves.

— Luis Villavelazquez, Executive Pastry Chef of Absinthe Brasserie & Bar and Arlequin Café

The nuances of TCHO chocolate make it a fun chocolate to work with. My favorite stand by desserts have taken on a new delicious flavor.

As a professional in the chocolate industry for more than 29 years, I’ve used most of the professional chocolates on the market. When I choose a chocolate, I look for quality, flavor and workability. Tcho-Pro is a chocolate that answers those requirements and is made right here in the USA! The higher cocoa content 68% makes it ideal for Ganache, mousses, baking and all around needs in your kitchen. While the TCHOPro 60.5 % is ideal for dipping and confectionary decorations.

— Julian Rose, Master Chocolatier

Thank you for making a bulk chocolate for bakers that is clean, interesting, easily workable and not fussy. I have eaten so much of your chocolate and now I am excited that I can use it freely in my products. The organic chocolate is delicious out of the bag and yet it makes a beautiful true bittersweet mousse and ganache. The taste is robust and just what a chocolate should be. Thanks again for a top notch hometown San Francisco chocolate.

— Cecile Gady, Owner, Cakework

In our blind chocolate taste test, TCHO was the hands-down star. The organic dark-chocolate baking drops, developed for professional chefs, bake beautifully into brownies, cakes, and any dish that calls for melted chocolate. For immediate gratification, pick up the company’s luscious bars.
