he finest chocolate makers have a vision of the best that chocolate can be--its potential power and hidden beauty. For some it is a chocolate modeled after a brilliant 150-year French tradition. For others it is a product of innovation, tied to organic, fair-trade and other new movements or methods of the 21st century. Patric Chocolate envisions chocolate as much more than simple tradition or the latest innovation, but as an opportunity to make each bar a revelation.

Thus, the goal of chocolate maker Alan McClure, founder of Patric Chocolate, is nothing less than to create chocolate of such quality that it becomes a flavorful work of art in itself, like the finest wine or Scotch--a magical sensory experience. To achieve this goal, McClure has embarked upon an in-depth examination of every step of the chocolate-making process, seeking to retain only what leads to excellence, and to discard or revise what would harm this goal--in the search for a chocolate whose components are flawlessly tuned, together, as one complex and magnificent instrument. This great search is finally coming to fruition as Patric Chocolate gradually introduces a select line of dark chocolate bars and fine cacao products that bear the seal of this reality: the aroma, taste and feel that are uniquely Patric.
