Chocosphere

I have been buying from Chocosphere for years.
Whether it’s for chocolate to review on my website:
, gifts, or personal consumption, I can peruse a cornucopia of options.
I love the «If it fits» shipping policy, where you only pay ten dollars for shipping as long as your chocolates fit in their medium sized box. Believe me, that is not typical for online chocolate companies.
They also have two categories I scour regularly: Sale and Bargain Basement. Sale items are marked down, Bargain Basement items are two for one. You really can’t do better anywhere else.
In addition to their already huge selection, there are always new products being featured for eating, baking, and tempering. (It’s really easy to temper chocolate in the microwave. You can find instructions on my website.)

This is my first time ordering from a reputable chocolate supplier, yet they have a supply of high quality chocolates for eating, baking and candy making. They have provided a warm weather packaging wherein they put your chocolates in 1 small styrofoam box that is packed with an ice pack, and another 1 large styrofoam box filled with an ice pack with 2 – 1 pound repackaged couverture chocolate that I ordered from them. This is filled with other goodies when I bought 1 Bargain basement bag — baking for $ 19.95. The small one contained an ice pack filled with 2 high-​quality fine chocolate from Santander, few goodies from 1 bargain basement bag that is worth $ 45 but is $ 19.95. It was send in a 2-​day Priority USPS box filled with packing popcorn, and there were 2 8 oz plastic tubs of Cordillera cocoa powder of 2 different kinds coming from the Bargain Basement– Baking Sampler bag.
This company supplies great and excellent couverture chocolate, and high quality fine chocolates for eating — as it gives me a new world of tasting other brands known in the chocolate industry.
As a first time buyer, they supplied me with the warm weather package which means that they provide an ice pack to prevent your chocolate products from melting, just in case, your package might be shipped to your company or residence, and the weather or climate is greater or equal to 78 degrees Farhenheit. Great shipping and service procedures.
I recommend you to shop for gift giving like they have a variety of gift assortment packages on their Gift Assortment category like the brown bag assortment which is filled with probably 25 to 30 tasting squares coming from different brands that are high– quality and great chocolates like Scharffen Berger, Dagoba, and Valrhona to name a few. They also have a Taste for 2, which is a large Chinese take out box filled with an assortment of tasting squares, and other chocolate confections that are wrapped for 2 people. For bargain hunters, who want to send their family, friends and relatives fine chocolates and who are chocoholics — I recommend you to send them the Bargain Basement bag for $ 19.95 or the $ 39.95. These are chocolates that have passed their best by dates meaning chocolates that have been bloomed meaning oil granules rise around the surface of chocolate but are still good to eat and to be used. They give a variety to try, and are still good to use for more months to few years. These are still good for consumption.
I bought their 1 kg or 2.2 lbs of couverture chocolates that are repackaged in a vacuum sealed foil bags. They really care about how they packaged their couverture chocolates. You can find the real European stuff here like Fechin, Domori, Amaedi, Valrhona and Bobonat to name a few. They provide are a lot of European and South American chocolate manufacturers, and Guittard and Scharffen Berger chocolates too.
Search on their website to discover and experience chocolate tasting at your own pace and budget. The couverture chocolates are priced for the home baker and a pro pastry chef. I recommend Chocosphere to get your chocolate fix or get chocolate supplies from here.

Great service. been using for a few years to buy valrhona discs in bulk. just got my shipment today. only negative is they use styrofoam peanuts in packaging. aside from environmental negatives of styrofoam it leaves styrofoam dust all over product packaging. other than that great prompt service. never had a shipping issue.

My husband surprised me last year with a chocolate subscription for my birthday. It was a huge hit! So much so that we have ordered more for ourselves and friends. They package the chocolate with their «warm weather packaging» if needed so the chocolate won’t melt. Really an amazing idea that works perfectly. I have discovered all sorts of new favorites I may have never tried on my own. It’s a great, creative gift that all my friends have swooned over and hinted to their husbands as a gift idea.

I LOVE Chocosphere. Great selection, prices, and customer service. They will throw in a sample to tempt me away from my favorites. I have been ordering from them every 3 months for a few years now. (I am a chocoaholic.) They are reliable and stock my favorite chocolate choices.

Incredible selection. We found two that we love (Grenada 71% and Madegase 71%) and have trouble finding in the stores. We ordered on a Friday, and as stated on the web site they delayed shipment until Monday so the chocolate wouldn’t be sitting in a shipping warehouse over the weekend. They also said at their option they would include for free a cooler pack if the weather was too hot. And that’s exactly what they did, shipped USPS on Monday, arrived on Wednesday morning in perfect condition in the cooler packaging, with 90 °F weather to contend with.
Awesome service, awesome selection, good prices, we’ll be back.

Great price, the only place I could find Guittard for 40% off retail. The box was well packed and arrived a day early.
They have a good, wide selection and good prices so great customer service was an added bonus.

Super great choice of super great chocolate. Great customer service, super fast delivery even though I didn’t take the next or 2^nd day shipping… Would highly recommend it to anyone who needs and likes chocolate!!!

I bought Amedei ‘9’ bar, Porcelana squares, and the I Cru sampler after seeing a Japanese competitive food program rerun. I didn’t want to go to a wine shop or Neiman-​Marcus not knowing their chocolate selection. I also like that they have squares because I prefer that set portion size instead of rewrapping a nibbled bar. I chose ground shipping and it arrived through flat rate priority mail within the week. The summer special will upgrade ground if estimates are for longer than three days.
Recommended for anniversary gifts. I paid extra for a huge gel pack with styrofoam insulation because of the warm weather. The four pound package was taped with a sticker that shows where to easily start unwrapping it. Their price for Chuao squares is a little cheaper and they deliver faster than Amedei’s 6 – 10 days. You can choose to substitute similar items if their stock is short.

Having drooled over the goods on Chocosphere for months and months, it was only after I moved to Portland that I discovered its homebase was Tualatin. Promptly rationalizing an unemployed 23 year old’s purchase of Valrhona feves and Pralus pyramids (No shipping fees!), I clicked «confirm». Shortly afterward I received a call telling me my order was ready. I then called to ask where exactly they were located (had trouble finding address on website). A very nice woman, upon learning that I was going to bus it there, held a parley with her associate and came up with a complex scheme involving a rendezvous at the Sunset Transit Center «whenever they got through there». This was very sweet, but they promptly called back to let me know that their bosses had vetoed the idea. Thus, I found myself, two hours later, in the corporate wasteland that is the Boones Ferry Road area. Took me a while to find the place, and the concept of my confections entirely surrounded by automotive shops was a bit unsavoury, but hell, I had them, and I felt like a bit of a warrior, fighting my way past burning asphalt and hamburgers in my new ballet flats, the only pedestrian to be seen for miles and miles, zone 2 bus transfer in my pocket, which, I might add, was itself (my pocket, I mean) located in zone 3(MWAHAHA!)! Very nice product delivered intact (I don’t think they’re responsible if you choose to pick it up yourself in August, walk to the bus stop, wait an hour for a bus [the first of three], and spend two hours in transit), very good online service, friendly people who will adorably try to meet you downtown with your Valrhona on their way home.

fantastic website to order chocolate from
great selection of high end chocolate (i should really end the review here — i mean what else need be said?) — like 50 different brands including boutique and organic from around the world
quick service, yummy goodness. chocolate of the month club. nuff said
(this is the 2^nd time i said cyberspace or internet for location and Unilocal decided that meant texas. i have no idea where they are from. probably not texas, but who knows?)
