It all started in Madhu's Austin, Texas kitchen where the founders experimented combining flavors they love from traditional Indian cuisine with their favorite sweet treat: chocolate. They source their cacao from the Tumaco region of Colombia and Idukki Hills region in Kerala, India, then roast, crack, winnow, grind, flavor, temper and wrap all their bars by hand striving to create the highest of quality bean-to-bar product. From the beautiful packaging inspired by Indian textiles to the gorgeous bars themselves, Madhu chocolate is a true labor of love.
