Mindo Chocolate Makers
Mindo Chocolate Makers has a strong connection to Michigan, where most of the production takes place. The cocoa, however, comes from Ecuador and its history began in Mindo. Before the Ecuadorian chocolate explosion, two Americans opened an internet café in Mindo. To make brownies, they brought chocolate… from the USA. Aware of the paradox of importing chocolate to the country of cocoa, they tried to produce their own chocolate from cocoa seeds… and that’s how Mindo Chocolate Makers was born. They then founded their factory in Dexter, Michigan. I’m not sure, but I believe the bars we bought from Mindo came from the original Mindo production facility (the one we visited). You can’t buy these chocolates in Quito, but you can order them in Ecuador as well as in the United States (for twice the price!).
