Gearharts Fine Chocolates

Description

• At a time when ingredients like cardamom, chilis and fresh herbs simply werent found inAmerican chocolate, a globetrotting chef dared to dream of an artisanal chocolate shop inthe South. Tim Gearhart began his journey to chocolatier by wandering the world through its kitchens.He toured the Far East as a Marine Corps cook, trained in pastry at the Culinary Instituteof America, and then honed his craft everywhere from an English castle to a Western duderanch. Inspired by his travels and eager to craft chocolates that reflected them, he returnedhome to Virginia to set up shop amid Charlottesvilles emerging food scene. Emboldened by the confidence of a fellow chef and former boss, Tim launched GearhartsFine Chocolates with Bill Hamilton in 2001. Outfitted with a small office kitchenette, andarmed with only two forks and a bowl, Tim hand-dipped about 700 pieces of chocolate aday during that first holiday season. While our need to create more than 13,000 chocolates a day has since forced the mechanicsto change, the recipes and handcrafted nature have remained. Fusing our own blend of theworlds finest chocolate with local sweet cream and pure butter, we continue to craft ouroriginal 16-piece signature line while also forging new territories along the path we helpedblaze. We temper our affection for tradition with our desire to surprise, and we work hardto ensure that every piece carries the care that went into it. Nearly 15 years in, Gearharts remains committed to the purity of our flavors and theintegrity of our nationally recognized products. We comb the globe for the very best it hasto offer, and we craft our world-class chocolates in the heart of Virginia.
