Mindo Chocolate Makers spans production across Ecuador and the United States, sourcing cocoa beans directly from small organic farms in Ecuador. The company's founders Jose Meza and Barbara Wilson started in 2009 as auto repair shop owners and became craft chocolate makers, pursuing the most delicious chocolate possible. Their process begins at harvest on the farms in Ecuador, and they split their time between the countries to maintain close contact with cocoa farmers and oversee every step of bean-to-bar production.
