Zohara's passion for chocolate took hold as a child and led her on journeys through equatorial jungles and into labs with chocolate technologists. She started a confection company creating pairings inspired by the diversity of flavors inherent in cacao. Inspired to make chocolate from the source, she joined the R&D team at TCHO in 2007. She also travels with the TCHOSource program for coop development to provide training on sensory and quality analysis of fine cocoa.
