Fodor's Expert Review Grenada Chocolate Company

The small Grenada Chocolate Company, founded in 1999, produces its now-famous chocolate bars in a small house-turned-factory in the village of Hermitage. Employees use antique machinery powered by solar energy to roast cocoa beans supplied by a local cooperative of growers representing more than 150 acres of organic cocoa farms. They mix and temper small batches of rich, dark chocolate that are then molded and wrapped by hand into high-quality, organic chocolate bars (cocoa powder and cocoa butter are also available). The company's chocolate bars were awarded silver medals in 2008, 2011, and 2013 by the London Academy of Chocolate. Buy the candy bars in supermarkets or gift shops for about $6 each.
