Chocolate has always been my language
Meet Genevieve:
Your Chocolate Sommelier
Born in Belgium to a Swiss mother, my chocolate obsession started in our family kitchen. After moving to the U.S. with a background in design, I began organizing chocolate events that brought people together around great craft chocolate.
Over two decades later, my passion is still about discovery: introducing friends, teams, and curious palates to the exciting world of bean-to-bar chocolate. I can’t wait to bring you along on this adventure!

Cacao fruit pulp - also called "baba" - is the white fleshy substance that surrounds the fresh cacao bean. "Baba" is necessary to ferment cacao beans, the first step of many in the process of making chocolate. It’s a rare find – only a few companies extract the pulp (in small enough amounts as to still allow for fermentation to occur) for separate consumption.
Cacao fruit pulp is a delectable blend of fruity and tart flavors, of sweetness and acidity. I make small batches of these buttery caramels, using "Baba" as the star ingredient. They are honey-sweet and silky-smooth on the palate, and they burst with the tang of fruit and the softness of cream. I present to you : the Babamels!
Ingredients: Cacao fruit pulp, cane sugar, cream, honey, butter.
