3 Homegrown Chocolate Brands We Absolutely LOVE!

After the #MakeInIndia trend, people across the country have been wanting to push India and Indian products higher up the totem pole. This is particularly true with regards to the food and beverage industry. Chefs have been working towards sourcing and using ingredients from within the country to produce edible delights of the finest quality.

This is no small feat, and yet, there are some artisan chefs who are doing exactly that. They make some delicious bars of chocolate in their very own kitchens. These bars are then tastefully wrapped and dispatched for purchase. Turning cocoa beans into bars of rich chocolate, these artisan chefs have left us in awe.

Here’s a look at 3 of the finest homegrown chocolates that will have you drooling.

Mason & Co is based in the kitschy little town of Auroville. Headed by husband and wife duo Jane and Fabien, Mason & Co was one of the first to dabble in the bean-to-bar concept. Their chocolates are vegan and their cocoa is sourced from local farmers specialising in organic produce. The packaging is sleek and glossy and only adds to the experience. Their flavours range from Dark, Bitter Sweet and Semi Sweet to Peanut Butter, Espresso, Peppermint and more.
