The mission of Richart Chocolates is to create an experience that pleases both visual and taste senses.
The Richart Chocolate Company travels the world searching for the finest ingredients for their chocolates. Cocoa from Venezuela, black currants and exotic spices are all sought after by the Richart family and prized for their rich flavors. Cocoa is ground to a minimum of 20 microns and sometimes as small as 12 microns in order to produce the correct consistency. Chocolates this good can be found in very few places throughout the world. Luckily a quick walk from Union Square will lead to Richart Chocolates, a taste worth experiencing again and again.
