Chocovivo is a bean-to-bar chocolate manufacturer that stone-grinds small batches from specially-fermented beans obtained directly from a family-owned farm in Tabasco, Mexico. Creator Patricia Tsai left a corporate career to pursue her passion for producing chocolate that delivers its natural health benefits through simple and minimal processing. Transparency characterizes each step of Chocovivo's production process, from a close direct relationship with the grower to the visible chocolate factory in Culver City, California.(3)

Products
Chocovivo makes dark chocolate in both pure and blended varieties, fermenting cacao beans for two-to-three days. Cacao content ranges from forty-five to one hundred percent, with blends ranging from almonds and seat salt to black sesame and goji berries. Cacao nibs and powders are also offered, as well as sweetened and unsweetened butters, both in standard and TSA-approved sizes.(4) Chocovivo does not conch or add butter to chocolate, preferring to rely on the cacao bean's natural qualities.

Tours
The Chocovivo factory occupies two-thirds of its Culver City location; production processes are viewable for all who enter the store. Plantation tours in Tabasco, Mexico, are arranged as available.(5)
