The whole craft chocolate movement started in the US, so you almost certainly have a great maker close to you. Google your city + bean-to-bar and see what you find. Support your local maker! :)

It's amazing, and you seem to be very passionate. I wish I could fly instantly to London. Should I ever be so lucky again in my life to come there, I won't forget your address!
