Rick Jordan Chocolatier

Welcome

We're incredibly excited to be able to reach across the country and provide premium chocolates to chocolate-lovers, connoisseurs, and newbies everywhere. We invite you to take in the beauty of our chocolates and to be inspired to partake in glorious and inventive flavor combinations.

Our process

Part of my process as a small batch chocolatier is to roast and hand grind cacao beans to make our house chocolate blend. This allows me to explore new and exciting flavor profiles and combinations in my chocolates. Check back to stay updated on our current house chocolate.

Current House Chocolate

Name: Umpala

Origin: Costa Rica

Species: Trinitario

Currently Making: 66% Dark chocolate

Flavor Profile: It is a well fermented Fair Trade, Organic Trinatario from the Umpala region of Costa Rica.  This is a pretty mild, well mannered cocoa bean that can stand on it's own to make a rather nice and elegant chocolate but will also work well as a base bean for blends. You will find some sweetness to it that puts me in mind of toffee or caramel, some brightness, hints of tamarind and a little malt, dried fig and a smoothness that makes me think of a milk chocolate without the milk. Just a touch of tannic bitterness, but not so much to detract from the overall profile.
