INTERVIEW: Emily Stone, Co-founder Of Uncommon Cacao

Emily Stone has become an important figure in the global cacao industry. In 2010 she co-founded Maya Mountain Cacao in southern Belize, while just a few years later, demand brought her to Guatemala, where her team founded Cacao Verapaz. Over the years, Uncommon Cacao has expanded to include cacao from 14 origins around the world (as of publication), bringing fine cacao to chocolate makers of all sizes. I had the honor of interviewing Emily just after New Year's for the Cacao Brands episode (https://damecacao.com/chocolate-on-the-road-cacao-brands/) of my podcast. She's such a well-spoken and knowledgeable figure that I knew I had to share our interview in its entirety. I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation as much as I enjoyed having it. Note that the topic of cacao branding plays heavily in my questions thanks to the podcast episode (https://damecacao.com/chocolate-on-the-road-cacao-brands/) for which I was interviewing Emily.
