The sweetened chocolate is refined and conched to ensure a creamy, velvety texture and to allow the flavors to develop beautifully. We only roast the heart of the cacao bean, called the nib, which allows us to produce a more consistent and intense chocolate flavor. After they have been sorted and fermented, the beans are left to dry in nature, starting their journey to become chocolate in the warm rays of the sun. We take care to source the top quality beans from around the world. It all begins with our proprietary cacao bean blends and unique methods of roasting and processing. Every Ghirardelli square is made with the intense, slow-melting, high quality chocolate that has delighted chocolate lovers for generations. Our signature individually wrapped chocolate squares feature classic fillings like luscious raspberry dark chocolate squares and buttery caramel chocolate squares. Ghirardelli chocolate squares have been delivering joy for more than 160 years.
