Originally founded as a premium chocolate mail order company in 1984 by Bob and Paige Leavitt, Vivra Chocolate today is the culmination of Bob's childhood in Paris visiting patisseries, Paige's traveling the world along the way, and various other careers, primarily in fashion. The original expedition in mail order chocolate was re-founded in 2010 as Vivra Chocolate, bringing 30 years of chocolate experience, fashion sense and French heritage to a new vision for chocolate, featuring smooth and refined chocolate matched with adventurous and fun flavors. For our Single Origin Bean to Bar we carefully source the finest beans from outstanding growing regions around the world, then hand select the beans and roast, crack, sort, winnow, grind, and then conch the chocolate in our Chocolate Studio until it meets our criterion for smooth and refined chocolate. Once the chocolate is smooth and flavorful, we temper the chocolate and then cast into bars. Our goal is to create smooth and enjoyable chocolate while retaining the best flavors representative of each bean growing region. We believe no chocolate meant to be enjoyed should be astringent, dry or grainy which means some sources never become chocolate bars.
