“Partnering with TCHO was a natural fit for us. Both companies are deeply rooted in our communities and dedicated to creating exceptional products. We share a passion for sustainability and believe in the power of collaboration to drive positive change. Our long-standing relationship with TCHO, using their chocolate in our Bruschetteria Food Truck and pairing experiences, has only strengthened our admiration for their craft.”
Linzi Gay, President, Clif Family Winery & Farm
“Working with Clif Family on the Napa Noir bar was an exciting project. I loved experimenting with the wine barrels and cabernet sea salt. Collaborating with Laura Barrett, Clif Family’s Winemaker, to understand the nuances of their wines was instrumental in developing this truly Napa Valley-inspired chocolate bar.”
