WHO IS BAHEN & CO?
Founded by former winemaker Josh Bahen, Bahen & Co was born out of a love for slow, thoughtful production. The brand operates on the belief that making chocolate should be like making wine—carefully sourced, expertly crafted, and rich in character. Using restored vintage chocolate-making equipment from the early 1900s, Bahen & Co keeps the time-honoured traditions of stone grinding and slow conching alive. Their direct-trade approach ensures ethical sourcing while supporting sustainable farming communities worldwide.
WHY WE LOVE THEM
Bahen & Co isn’t just about chocolate—it’s about telling the story of where cacao comes from. Each bar is crafted with minimal ingredients, allowing the natural flavours of the cacao to shine through. Their ethical approach means you’re not just indulging in chocolate, you’re supporting fair wages and sustainable farming. Plus, their packaging is a work of art, making every bar feel like a little treasure.
FUN FACT
The same vintage chocolate-making equipment that Bahen & Co uses today had to be meticulously restored after being salvaged from old chocolate factories. Some of the machines date back over 100 years, proving that the best things in life don’t need upgrading—just a little love and care.
