At Forté Chocolate we are food lovers, but first and foremost we are a community of people. By focusing on those who work for us and partner with us and believe in chocolate’s innate ability to enhance lives—both as a food and an art—we generate and act on the big ideas that will evolve our industry and benefit the planet. As a women-owned company that gives back to the communities we live and work in, we embrace diversity, equity and inclusion in our business operations and actively share our knowledge to inspire the next generation of chocolatiers.

We proudly work with local producers and whole ingredient suppliers who have meticulous dedication to quality and freshness. Developing these relationships is a fundamental part of our operations and successes. We support and adhere to Direct Trade practices and ethically-sourced ingredients. Our aim is to deliver the highest quality products that are both sustainable and exceptionally flavorful.

Our team of artisan chocolatiers embody a creative mindset, carefully crafting every chocolate by hand in limited quantities using traditional techniques of tempering, pouring, enrobing, and adding the finishing touches to each truffle, caramel and specialty bar. Bringing out the flavors naturally within the chocolate is a methodical and artful process of blending distinctive ingredients, including savory elements such as notes of red current and citrus, honeys, and spices to produce a well-honed harmony of signature flavors — a transcendence likened to experiencing the virtuosity in a musical masterwork.

Our chocolate is hand crafted for the love of taste and beauty. Visit our Mission and Philosophy page to learn more about us or see all of our awards earned here. Enjoy!

Chocolate and confection care varies from product to product. We have included these simple instructions to ensure your chocolates are as delicious as on the day they are made!

• STORAGE – Optimal storage conditions should be a cool and dry place, away from scent and light. We do not recommend storing your chocolate in the refrigerator, as the chocolate will absorb any of its scents, and they will become damp with condensation
• ENJOY BONBONS BY – Your truffle chocolates and chocolate enrobed caramels should be savored within 14 days (two weeks) of receipt for optimal freshness
• SAVOR BARS & BARKS BY – Chocolate bars and bagged barks should be consumed by the “Enjoy By” date printed on the back of the package
