Drinking chocolate from the Cross Atlantic Chocolate Collective: cacao growers who make their own.

Join the waitlist Meet the collective

The Cross Atlantic Chocolate Collective is a movement of cacao growers in Africa and the Caribbean who make their own chocolate. Chocolate Rebellion is its US arm, based in New York City.

Coming soon Our story

Cocoa is labour, chocolate is luxury.

For as long as cocoa has been grown as a commercial crop, there has been a divide between those who grow the cocoa and those who make the chocolate.

We’re rewriting that narrative, and decolonizing the market bean by bean.

How the collective works

Grow it. Make it. Sell it.

The collective’s model lets members take cacao all the way to chocolate, sharing information, skills and support along the way.

  1. Cultivate the fruit

    It starts with the growers and the cacao fruit.

  2. Process the beans

    The beans are processed where they’re grown, instead of leaving as a raw material.

  3. Temper the couverture

    Members make the chocolate themselves, right through to tempering.

  4. Sell our own chocolate

    Members sell their own chocolate, so more of the value stays in the community.
