Guittard is another super fine artisinal chocolate made in San Francisco and about the only one still owned by the family of the founder (Etienne Guittard). I find it unfortunate (fortunate for the founders however) that Scharffen Berger was bought out by Hershey. E.

In the Overview, it says that, "A chocolate industry trade group has petitioned the US FDA to allow manufacturers to replace cocoa butter with cheaper fats and still call the results 'chocolate'."

Guests from our Europe office found out that I like chocolates and they bring me those Belgian brands that are to die for. The pralines I find too sweet, so the lucky ones in the office get their share. Some "hint hint" on my preference for dark chocos did the trick. They do bring Godiva and Leonidas but I love those dark minichocolats by Hamlet, the dark fruity ones from Callebaut, and dark choco truffles...and a lot of self control to watch the waist line.
