Wine Country: Sonoma County DIY Tour
Flavored bean-to-bar
Founded in 2016 by husband-and-wife pioneering farm-to-table chefs Jeff and Susan Mall, Volo Chocolate makes Mexican style, flavored bean-to-bar chocolate, in Windsor, CA.
All of their bars contain sea salt and cinnamon, and their beans are roasted darker than most other makers’ bars. Many of the ingredients flavoring their bars come from local sources.
Available online, at special events, farmers markets, and local markets. They also offer subscriptions. We found Volo at Oliver’s Market Stony Point.
CBTB tip
With their beautiful wrappers of quilt art by Katherine Shannahan, Volo bars would make a good gift for knowledgeable chocolate enthusiasts who might not have tried flavored single-origins before.
