FROM OUR CUSTOMERS

"Hoja Verde Dark Chocolate is not only a great tasting gourmet chocolate, but from a business perspective, easy to work with & efficient. The single-origin & FairTrade certified attributes first caught my attention - but in a crowded category like chocolate, Hoja Verde's quality and customer service sets them apart. They service each of my stores with personalized attention, ship the product in 2-days and my stores are seeing excellent sales with reorders. They are a win-win from business dealings all the way to the consumer sale"

"When I tasted the Hoja Verde Dark Chocolate, something very unusual happened. I got really surprised by the originality, the quality and the fascinating taste of it. I had no expectation because I didn’t know this chocolate and also when you believe you are an expert because you have tried hundreds of different kinds and suddenly you happen to taste something like this chocolate, you are in shock…so you are wowed. I feel like I made a great discovery. I did! I look forward to enjoy it and use it in my desserts to see if I am good enough to keep the integrity of it."

"The Hoja Verde Dark Chocolate is poetic. The flavor profile is remarkable. You can taste the different tones in the Hoja Verde Dark Chocolate. It comes through like no other chocolate I have tasted before. It had a very clean, natural, distinct flavor without being overly aggressive for a dark chocolate. It is evident that the company really cares the product from start to finish."
