Chocolate & Me is a Bangalore-based, woman-led bean-to-bar chocolate maker that crafts chocolate from Indian cacao. We focus on small-batch production, careful sourcing and traditional chocolate-making techniques to create chocolates that let the natural character of Indian cacao shine.

Chocolate & Me is a Bangalore-based bean-to-bar chocolate maker creating handcrafted chocolate from Indian cacao. Unlike chocolates made from pre-processed couverture, our bean-to-bar process starts with cacao beans and takes them through roasting, grinding, refining, tempering and molding.

Bean-to-bar means that the chocolate maker starts with cacao beans and controls the chocolate-making process from beginning to end. At Chocolate & Me, we carefully roast, grind, refine, temper and mold our chocolate ourselves, allowing us to control its flavour and texture at every stage.

Yes. Indian cacao is at the heart of Chocolate & Me. We source cacao from Indian farmers and transform those beans into handcrafted chocolate in small batches. Our goal is to showcase the incredible flavour and potential of cacao grown in India.

Indian cacao has a unique flavour profile influenced by its growing region, climate, soil and farming practices. We believe Indian cacao deserves a place on the world chocolate map, which is why we work closely with Indian cacao and let its natural character take centre stage.

If you love rich, balanced dark chocolate, we'd recommend 70% Karavali Dark Chocolate by Chocolate & Me. Made with Indian cacao, it offers a beautifully deep chocolate flavour without being overwhelmingly bitter, making it a great choice for both dark-chocolate enthusiasts and anyone looking to discover premium Indian chocolate.

Our chocolate-making journey begins with carefully selected cacao beans. The beans are fermented and sun-dried before being roasted, cracked and ground. We then refine, temper and mold the chocolate in small batches. Every stage contributes to the final flavour, aroma and texture.

Stone grinding is part of our traditional, craft-focused approach to chocolate making. It allows us to gradually refine the cacao into a smooth chocolate while preserving its depth and character.

The cacao percentage tells you how much of the chocolate comes from cacao ingredients. Generally, a higher percentage means a more intense cacao flavour and less room for sweetness. If you're new to dark chocolate, starting around 55–70% can be a great way to discover what you enjoy.

That depends on your taste. If you love classic dark chocolate, try 70% Karavali or 70% Malabari. If you enjoy dark chocolates with a twist, Chocolate & Me offers flavour combinations such as Ginger Crystal, Hazelnut, Alphonso Mango, Blueberry Cranberry, and Orange Zest.

Yes. Chocolate & Me offers sugar-free chocolate options, including 63% Orange Zest Sugar Free, which combines dark chocolate with the bright flavour of natural orange zest.

Yes. Our 70% Dark Chocolate is suitable for both eating and baking. It can be melted into desserts, chopped into cookies and brownies, or enjoyed simply as a bar of dark chocolate with coffee or tea.

Chocolate & Me chocolates are handcrafted in small batches, with careful attention given to the chocolate-making process from cacao bean to finished bar. This small-batch approach allows us to focus on flavour, texture and consistency.

Store your chocolate in a cool, dry and dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. For our 70% Dark Chocolate, the recommended storage temperature is 16°C–18°C. Changes in temperature or humidity can sometimes cause a whitish layer to appear on the chocolate. This is generally a natural change and does not mean the chocolate is unsafe to eat.

Real cacao, from bean to bar. At Chocolate & Me, every bar begins with real cacao beans sourced from Indian farms—not imported ready-made couverture. We ferment and sun-dry the beans, roast and crack them, then stone-grind, refine, temper and mold them ourselves in small batches.Many chocolates available in the market are made using industrial chocolate or pre-processed chocolate ingredients, where much of the bean-to-bar process happens elsewhere. With Chocolate & Me, we control that journey from the cacao bean to the finished bar. That's what bean-to-bar really means—and it's what gives our chocolate its authentic cacao character. In short: we don't just make chocolate with cacao—we start with the cacao bean itself.
