Guittard Chocolate CompanyGuittard Chocolate Co...

San Francisco, CA

Guittard is a family-owned American chocolate maker founded in San Francisco in 1868 by Étienne Guittard. More than a century later, the company remains family-run, with multiple generations involved in carrying the business forward. That continuity shows up in a steady commitment to craft rather than trend-driven chocolate making.

Guittard’s process is rooted in traditional methods, including careful cacao selection, controlled roasting, blending, and extended conching to develop balanced flavor and smooth texture. The goal is consistency and depth, whether the chocolate is being used by professional bakers or home cooks.

Across their lineup, Guittard emphasizes clean, straightforward ingredient lists and lets cacao flavor lead. Their chocolate is known for reliability and restraint, built for real cooking and baking rather than novelty. It’s a producer that values tradition, ingredient integrity, and doing things well over doing them fast
