About the Partner
TCHO was born nearly 15 years ago out of a shared obsession to reimagine the world of chocolate from the ground up.
Based in Berkeley, CA, TCHO was founded by NASA tech wizard Timothy Childs, forty-year chocolate vet Karl Bittong, and operated by Louis Rossetto and Jane Metcalfe, the founders of Wired magazine, from 2007 to 2014.
The bridge from their founding to the present day is the one and only Brad Kintzer, our Chief Chocolate Maker. An expert taster and industry leader in cacao sensory analysis, Brad has led TCHO's chocolate-making for over a decade and has pioneered new systems allowing us to co-create better cocoa with our farmer partners. The heart of their efforts to reimagine the chocolate industry is our TCHO Source program, led by our Director of TCHO Source, Laura Sweitzer.
As a certified B Corporation, TCHO leans on their founding value of curiosity to find new ways to use business to better the world through chocolate.
That's why TCHO is Chocolate. Fair & Square.
