+ Bean-To-Bar Chocolate Makers:

All products must be 100% bean-to-bar produced from the company itself. Bean to bar chocolate makers must have control over the entire process of chocolate making. This includes starting with sourcing raw cacao beans, roasting, refining it, and everything in between.

Businesses with a mix of their own bean-to-bar and chocolateir products (made with chocolate from a third party) are no longer going to be on the map.

+ Tree-To-Bar Chocolate Makers:

The same people/owners of growing and curing the cacao also manufacture the chocolate as well (no third party involved in the process from start to finish). This can be within the same country, or in two separate countries (however, it still must fall under the same owners who have control over both growing/curing and manufacturing).

+ Cacao Suppliers:

This category includes cacao growers who sell their cacao, as well as cacao distributors who sell ethically sourced fine cacao. Some may sell only wholesale, while others may sell smaller quantities to the public.

+ Equipment:

This category includes bean to bar equipment manufacturers who produce refiners, winnowers, and other equipment you need to make your own chocolate, as well as distributors that have a fair range of equipment that bean to bar chocolate makers can find helpful.

This can be large wholesale equipment, or equipment for the bean to bar hobby maker!
