Unveiling the discovery of chocolate with our loyal customers

“As a chocolate sommelier from France, I’ve had my fair share of exceptional chocolate, and Castronovo Chocolate’s bars are among my all-time favorites. I’ve hosted hundreds of chocolate tastings, and Castronovo’s white chocolate with lemon is consistently a crowd-pleaser. I’m personally partial to Denise’s dark milk bars, and I reserve her single-origin selections for my most discerning clients. Castronovo Chocolate truly stands out as one of the most talented chocolate-makers in the US.”

-Estelle Tracy, Chocolate Sommelier
37 Chocolates

“What makes Castronovo truly special is their commitment to discovering unique single origins through firsthand travel and research. Denise’s uncompromising honesty and dedication to quality shine through in every bar, offering an experience that’s as genuine as it is exceptional.”

-The Chocolate Ambassador

“Not only does Denise make the best chocolate I have ever tasted, but her pioneering efforts to support rainforest conservation through her business practices is unsurpassed. I have personally seen and experienced the results of her efforts to prove that commerce and conservation are compatible. I hope that others will follow her example.”

-Steve Elkins
