The Proper Chocolate Company

The Proper Chocolate Company, founded by Patrick and Kelli Marjolet in May 2016 produce bean-to-bar chocolate in micro-batches in Dublin. Their passion for chocolate making began in 2013 while living in San Francisco. Having received a bag of cocoa beans from a local small-batch chocolate maker as a gift, Patrick decided to have his hand at making his own chocolate and an intense passion ensued and endures.

Much like a winemaker seeks out the best grapes, The Proper Chocolate Company source the finest beans and carefully roast them to bring out their optimum flavours. When treated just right, cocoa beans release an incredible variety of savours and subtleties that you just don’t find in mass-produced chocolate.

They transform high-quality cocoa beans into fine chocolate. As bean-to-bar chocolate makers, they hand-sort, roast, crack and winnow cocoa beans then refine, conch, age, temper, mould and package our chocolate- all from their Dublin facilities.

Products include hot chocolate, gin infused chocolate bars, coffee, spreads and more.

Find them every week at Farmer's Markets in Naomh Olaf Producers' Farmer's Market (at the GAA Club), Sandyford, Honest2Goodness Market, Glasnevin and Temple Bar Market. The Proper Chocolate Company can also be found in speciality retailers throughout the country.
