Forté Chocolate was founded in Skagit Valley, Washington, by Master Chocolatier Karen Neugebauer – one of the most highly awarded chocolatiers in the world. Years of disciplined craft shaped into small-batch compositions realized entirely by hand – work guided by restraint rather than proclamation.
Women-Owned and Disability-Owned certified, Forté is a company built through mastery, intention, and enduring care.
