Óbolo Bean to Bar Chocolate

Óbolo is a pioneering craft chocolate maker based in Chile. Founded by Mark Gerrits, the brand is known for being the first 'bean-to-bar' chocolate factory in the country, focusing on ethical sourcing and high-quality ingredients from Latin America. One of their most distinctive products incorporates native Chilean herbs like Rica Rica from the Atacama Desert.

The production takes place in their factory in Santiago, specifically in the Barrio Italia neighborhood. They source organic cacao beans primarily from the Pangoa region in Peru and process them entirely in-house to maintain flavor profile and social responsibility standards. The brand remains an independent craft operation owned by its original founders.
