After tasting a Bonnat Chuao bar in Paris in 2007, Craft Chocolate Specialist Jessica Ferraro created Bar Cacao to help drive the craft chocolate movement in a positive direction. She provides wholesale and retail sales services, business advising, retailer and consumer education and tasting events. Jessica carefully pairs top specialty grocer and chocolate-making partners to create some of the most successful craft chocolate programs in the US. She has judged for the Chocolate Alliance, International Chocolate Awards and Good Food Awards, hosted Meet Your Maker and Happy Hour craft chocolate events, explored cacao origins including Chuao, Venezuela, Costa Esmeraldas, Ecuador, and Maya Mountain Cacao, Belize, and lectured at FCCI, FCIA, the International Chocolate Salon, the UnConference, CoffeCon and, of course, the Northwest Chocolate Festival.
