.A. Burdick includes a flourishing, worldwide mail order business, retail chocolate shops in Boston and Cambridge, Mass., New York City and Walpole, N.H., a French-inspired restaurant and a small specialty grocery store. The company has changed, but our methods and values have not. We still import only the best couvertures from Switzerland, France and Venezuela, made with cocoa beans sourced primarily from South and Central America and the Caribbean. Confections are made in small batches and, eschewing molds, we cut and shape our bonbons by hand. Complementing flavors and ingredients come directly from their sources, never from extracts, concentrates or artificial flavorings. Efforts to procure ingredients of superlative quality led us to help establish the Cocoa Farming Future Initiative in Grenada. We support cocoa farmers on the famed “Spice Isle” by broadening the use of the fragrant and expressive beans they grow there.
