+ Where does the money go?

SOC is an independant entity, created by Geoseph, as a way to better educate the public on chocolate from an objective and research-based perspective. No third party funding is ever received such as grants or affiliate programs or anything other than the occasional website donations from generous supporters.

In order for me to keep the Chocolate School going and growing, I'm requesting a small one-time payment for full access. This will help give me the resources I need to continue growing the content here. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!
