Greetings! I'm Josie Pradella, founder of TerraSource Gourmet Chocolates. As a self-taught chocolatier, I'm merging my passion for making delicious chocolates with my desire to lighten our impact on this planet.

My premium flavors highlight a range of fruits and flowers rarely found in chocolates, including rhubarb, blackberry, blueberry, cranberry walnut, and brandied pear. All my chocolates are vegan, and besides fruit juices, purees and dried fruit, few additional flavorings are used to create these natural chocolates with divine taste.

I invite you to enjoy my selection of quality, hand-made chocolates and share the satisfaction of knowing that together we are doing good for the planet.
