Not to brag*, but we have a super-fan**. Paul, co-founder at GARA Skincare, is fanatical about our milk chocolate bars. We have designated production days just for Paul. When he approached us with the idea of adding black sage to our chocolate bars, we were hesitant. The flavor combination seemed a bit unusual, and we were worried about sourcing the oil. Both concerns were fleeting. Lisa and I like to embrace the unusual***, and Paul promised to personally forage for, and distill, the black sage.
So, if you spot a person roaming the hills of Ojai with milk chocolate bars filling his pockets and bundles of sage on his back, say “hi” to Paul, the man who had the brilliant idea to merge his two passions****—distilling and chocolate—into one remarkable chocolate bar.
Stay tuned,
Heather
Co-Founder of Beato Chocolates
*I’m going to.
** we have two.
***especially, when it's delicious.
****Actually, Paul has three passions (that we are aware of): distilling, chocolate, and wellness. The benefits of this chocolate bar extend far beyond mere enjoyment. Black sage is renowned for its calming properties and is rich in terpenes and terpenoids that help calm pain, soothe inflammation, and relax the nervous system. When combined with the nutritional advantages of cacao, this chocolate bar is truly unique, nourishing both the mind and body.
