Chocolate Factory - New Name - Flowering Cacao
CHOCOLATE FACTORY
Now the chocolates and stone ground nut butters can be purchased at FloweringCacao.com
100% Organic, Stone-Ground, Fairly Traded, Live, Heirloom Cacao
It all begins with cacao trees, whose fruits ripen year-round. We hand-harvest the cacao pods and peel each bean individually on our small cacao farms. The beans are then stone ground in their raw, organic, fully nutritious, live state. Bitter they may be, until they reach the alchemist’s hands.
Master Chocolatiers, Kelly Johnson and Jeffrey Botticelli do their magic; adding organic sweeteners, like maple syrup or honey, and sprouted nuts, berries & dried fruits to create each unique Truffle, Magic Bar and Chocolate Cup.
Some may know, others simply feel that chocolate in its raw state brings out a sense of euphoria, due to a few nutritional components including anandamide and tryptophan. The care, integrity and love for chocolate is obvious when you taste, feel, and experience “the best chocolate ever.” And that’s not all... ~ Raw Chocolate is GOOD FOR YOU !!! ~
Kelly Johnson, founder of The Chocolate Shop, the conductor that has developed his own methods of live, low-heat processing techniques to preserve the delicate nutrients and beneficial compounds in cacao. His dedication to the finest quality cacao production is apparent in the experience of enjoying any of his delectable treats!
The sustainability of cacao as a living tree is sacred to us at ChocolaTree, and working with others that value cacao in a similar way is of the utmost importance. To say that we have strict sourcing procedures and exceptional integral practices would only skim the surface to what is really going on behind the scenes.
We would not want it any other way, as what we are rewarded with is the absolutely orgasmic delight that comes in so many forms that can also be consumed by you, our valued friends of ChocolaTree Organic Oasis.

CALLING ALL CHOCOLATE LOVERS!
Ever wondered about ChocolaTree's amazing, raw, organic chocolate making process? Now is your divine opportunity! This January 2023, join long time chocolatier Jeffrey Botticelli, for many amazing offerings, in our very own Chocolate Factory!
Hello, my name is Jeffrey Botticelli, and I have been a craft chocolatier since 2007. I began making chocolate in San diego, then moved my work to Sedona and Chocolatree in 2008. Like so many, I have been a chocolate enthusiast throughout life and it has been a great joy to create flavorful, simple, and complex confections.
Tempering Chocolate is the process of taking the chocolate from a de-stabilized state and re-stabilizing the fat crystals, Adjusting the characteristics. My back round as a farrier and blacksmith provided the foundation for tempering chocolate through the tempering process with steel. Tempering is a process of heat treating, which is used to increase the toughness of iron-based alloys. My transition from this work into chocolate making translated fairly easy, and as a result I am a self taught chocolatier.
