Ep. 2: The Internet

Craft chocolate’s growth, just like that of Milliennials’ (https://damecacao.com/chocolate-on-the-road-millennials-in-chocolate/), has paralleled the rise of the internet. On the one hand were future chocolate makers, slowly discovering this global world of cacao growing & sourcing, chocolate tasting & making, and small business-building. While behind the scenes, countless people were working to help them on their path. Somebody had to connect them to their cacao & teach them the basics of chocolate making. Somebody had to give them the tools to start their own businesses. And yet another somebody had to connect them, helping them solve the everyday problems they were each facing. In this episode we’ll meet three of the somebodies who created much of the foundation of the modern craft chocolate movement. They’ve made it their business, literally, to build up small chocolate businesses, one bean— or bonbon— at a time. But how and why did they decide to build up a new industry using this new technology?
