I-Stone Grindz, esebenza ngokubambisana nguKasey McCaslin kunye noSteven Shipler, ngumenzi wetshokolethi we-scallop osekelwe eScottsdale.Le chokolethi igqwesileyo iphumelele amawonga amaninzi, kubandakanywa nembasa ye-Italian International Chocolate Awards, kodwa akukho lula kwaba batshokolethi bazifundisayo ukuba bafumane loo mawonga.
UShipler noMcCarsling bafudukela kwiYunivesithi yaseArizona State besuka eTexas naseNorth Carolina ngokulandelelanayo.Basebenza kwingobozi yezonka evaliweyo kaMesa ngoku kwaye badibana ngelixa bethengisa izinto ezibhakiweyo kwimarike yamafama asekuhlaleni.Aba babini bagqibe ekubeni baqale ishishini labo ngo-2012, bethengisa iibhari zokuqala zesondlo, izilayi zekale, ilitye lelitye lebhotolo yamandongomane kunye netshokolethi njengabathengisi bemarike yamafama.I-Stone Grindz ithengiswe kwiiveki ezimbalwa zokuqala.
UMcCarsling wathi umthengi wathatha itshokolethi kwaye wathi, “Itshokolethi yakho ibolile.Yaqhekezeka yaziingceba yaye inencasa okwenkunkuma.Kwafuneka ndiyilahle.”Wacela ukubuyiselwa imali.
UMcCaslin uthe: "Ndifuna ukumbulela," watsho uMcCaslin ngendlela eqinileyo nezolileyo (kwaye uhlala ekulungele ukuphendula nayiphi na imibuzo malunga netshokolethi).Nje ukuba ndimbuyisele imali, ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndigoduke, ndifunde ukuthoba itshokolethi, kwaye ndizame ukuqhotsa ikoko.”
I-Tempering yinkqubo yokunyibilikisa itshokolethi, ukuyipholisa kwiqondo elithile lobushushu, kwaye emva koko uyibumbe.Ukuba ayicaphuki, itshokolethi ayiyi kukhanya kwaye iya kuthamba kwiqondo lokushisa.
Iqabane elitsha leshishini livumile ukugxila kwimveliso enye kuphela: itshokolethi.Baqala ukuphanda nokuvavanya, kwaye kwathatha iminyaka emine ukuvavanya ijika lokuqhotsa.UMcCaslin uthe: “USteven unamandla angaqhelekanga okuphanda kuwo nawuphi na umbandela.
Ngo-2016, iStone Grindz yafakwa kuluhlu olufutshane lwamaBhaso oKutya eSan Francisco.Kunyaka wesibini, baphumelele imbasa yegourmet kunye neembasa ezine zetshokolethi zamazwe ngamazwe.Ngo-2018, baphinde baphumelela enye “imbasa yegourmet” kunye neembasa zetshokholethi ezintlanu zamazwe ngamazwe, bade bathatha inxaxheba kukhuphiswano lwehlabathi.Iwebhusayithi kaMartha Stewart ikwadwelisa iWild Bolivia Bar njengenye yeebhari zetshokolethi ezingama-20 eziphezulu zezipho.
Ekugqibeleni, ngo-2019, baphumelele iMbasa yesi-3 yokuTya okuLungileyo kunye ne-10 yeeMbasa zeChocolate zaMazwe ngaMazwe.Ezi ziquka iimbasa ezimbini zegolide eziphunyelelweyo kukhuphiswano lwehlabathi olubanjelwe e-Itali, ezizezi, i-Stone Grinz's Peruvian Ukayari neSuntory Whisky kunye neAsian Pear Caramel, ezizezona chocolates zibalaseleyo kweli hlabathi kolu didi.
Yonke le milingo yenzeke ekhitshini lendlu (eqinisekisiweyo) kunye nezinye iigrinder ezincinci kunye nezinye iibhokisi zekhadibhodi eziqokelela ubushushu bokucoca i-tshokoleta kwi-160 degrees Fahrenheit.(Ukucokiswa yinkqubo yokuxuba i-cocoa solids kunye neswekile kunye nomgubo wobisi de amasuntswana abe mancinci kwaye umxube unyibilike. Kwenza i-coke yetshokholethi igalele itshokolethi ekubunjeni.)
Ukuba unomdla wokufunda ngale nkqubo, ke bobabini abantu bathumele iividiyo.KuShilper noMcCaslin, itshokholethi ibandakanya ukubonakaliswa kobugcisa kunye nokwazisa uluntu.Wathi kuHitler, itshokolethi “yingqibelelo, ukunyaniseka, ubugcisa, intetho, ubuhle, umbala, ukuthungwa kunye nevumba.Kum, itshokholethi iyinto ethe phithi.
"Ifilosofi yethu yetshokholethi ilula kakhulu," utshilo uMcCaslin.“Umgangatho uza kuqala.Sisebenza nzima ukwenza itshokolethi ibe yeyona ndlela yonwabayo esinokuyisebenzisa, kunye nokunciphisa unyawo kangangoko sinakho.Ngaphaya koko, urhwebo olufanelekileyo, ukuthengwa kwezinto ezisesikweni, kunye nekoko elinexabiso eliphezulu zibaluleke ngokwenene kuthi.”
Zonke iimveliso ziyi-vegan kwaye aziqukethe i-soy, iimveliso zobisi kunye ne-gluten.Ngokungafaniyo neetshokholethi ezininzi zorhwebo ezenziwe kumxube weembotyi zekoko, iimbotyi zeStone Grindz zinemvelaphi enye, i-heirloom kunye ne-organic.Oku kuchukumisa kakhulu kubantu abayaziyo itshokolethi, kuba akukho ndawo yokufihla iimbotyi kumthombo omnye.Akukho kudibanisa "kunokulungisa" incasa.Iitshokholethi kufuneka zisebenzise izakhono zazo kuphela.Incasa ivela kukubhaka kunye nokucokisa.
Iimbotyi zekofu ze-Stone Grindz ziye zavavanywa ngaphezulu kwe-25 yokuvavanya ukufumana abameli ababalaseleyo beembotyi zekofu ezithile.Ukubhaka kukwasisifundo somonde.Iimbotyi zigcadiswa kubushushu obuphantsi ixesha elide ukuvelisa incasa enzulu.
I-Stone Grindz isebenzisana negcisa lasekhaya uJoe Mehl kuyilo lokupakisha, olubonwa ngokulula ngenxa yokusetyenziswa okugqabhukileyo kwemibala emininzi.UMel wafumana inkuthazo kubugcisa bemveli baseMzantsi Melika kwaye wakhankanya imvelaphi yeembotyi (ePeru, e-Ecuador naseBolivia).
Emva kweminyaka yokuziqhelanisa, iminyaka yodumo kunye nokupakishwa okumangalisayo, iStone Grindz isenokufikelela ngokulula.Imivalo yayo yetshokolethi kunye neelekese (ezitshintshayo kunye namaxesha onyaka) zingathengwa kwi-intanethi okanye kwi-Whole Foods kunye ne-AJ's Food Foods.Nangona kunjalo, njengangaphambili, unokufumana i-Stone Grindz kwiindawo zokuhlala, i-Old Town yaseScottsdale kunye ne-Gilbert Farmers Market.
Kwaye, ukuba awukwazi ukwenza isigqibo malunga nokuba uthenge ntoni, nceda uthethe noMcCaslin.Uya kufumana ibha yakho efanelekileyo.
