PHILOSOPHY
Changing the world one chocolate at a time.
"If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world, there's nothing to it."
Willy Wonka, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
For Aneesh, enjoying chocolate needs to be a full circle experience. The farming, the making, the eating and then cycling back to the next generation. Everybody in this cycle benefits from a process of emotional, mental and social upliftment, including most of all us. It only takes time and values to build relationships and not anything else.
Aneesh has made a commitment to source ethical cacao which directly benefits farmers and supports the conservation of wildlife and nature. At The Chocolatier, Aneesh sources chocolate originating from wild cacao gardens and from cacao farms in remote tropical destinations including Congo, Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia.
In 2019, Aneesh visited an organic farm in Peru to see first-hand the impact of the relationships between us, the makers and the cacao growing farmers. The organic methods passed down by generations of farmers yield the most beautiful and natural cacao. Aneesh is working in harmony with nature, in partnership with people and for the benefit of the next generation.
