Tcho makes a variety of plant-based, vegan chocolate.

TCHO was born out of a shared obsession to reimagine the world of chocolate from the ground up.

Curiosity ruled our every move as we set out to rethink every step of the chocolate-making process and bring tools and resources directly to our farmer partners, which often meant innovating through technology. Which, makes sense as we were founded by NASA tech wizard Timothy Childs, forty-year chocolate vet Karl Bittong, and operated by Louis Rossetto and Jane Metcalfe, the founders of Wired magazine.

The bridge from our founding to the present day is the one and only Brad Kintzer, our Chief Chocolate Maker. An expert taster and industry leader in cacao sensory analysis, Brad has pioneered new systems allowing us to co-create better cocoa with our farmer partners. The heart of our efforts to reimagine the chocolate industry is our TCHO Source program, led by our Director of TCHO Source, Laura Sweitzer.

We make all of our chocolate at our state-of-the-art chocolate factory in Berkeley, California. As a certified B Corporation, we lean on our founding value of curiosity to find new ways to use our business to better the world through chocolate.

That's why TCHO is Chocolate. Fair & Square.

I really like TCHO's mission-driven approach to creating a better bar with confidence that you're consuming the best, from bean to bar. The packaging is cute and catchy, from the bright colors to the cheeky names. For consumers taking the time to learn more about the founding and focus on ethical sourcing, I think they will be pleasantly surprised by the commitment to quality.
