Dream Team: Dr. Eric & Cassandra Durtschi

The son of a candy maker, Dr. Eric Durtschi had an intense passion for all things chocolate from an early age of 8 years old. He decided to pursue a profession in health and wellness, and as a chiropractor, he was frequently asked to offer diet and healthy living advice. During his research, he learned that cacao was an amazing superfood in its unadulterated state. He began development of the world’s first brewed cacao in 2007. Dr. Durtschi purchases premium cocoa beans directly from cocoa farmers. He also discovered and developed methods of processing cocoa beans that help to retain more of the cocoa’s beneficial compounds. Working directly with farmers from across the world for almost 15 years now, he teaches them superior processing techniques that help them earn a premium for their beans as well as provide some of the finest cocoa beans available. Dr. Durtschi has a unique approach to chocolate making that he is eager to share with you!
