Was it the economy that inspired you to launch your new (and more affordable) Wild Ophelia brand of chocolate?
"No, actually it wasn't. What happened was, as we really started to grow, we were approached by retailers to sell in their stores. The demand was great, but we really wanted to keep up with the integrity of the brand — to keep it special."

"So, it was the demand that prompted Wild Ophelia: "An American Roadtrip Through Chocolate." I love to create new brands, so this was a really exciting project for me. It was a perfect time to launch it because people are becoming more conscious about where their food is coming from. It's all-natural, and often, organic ingredients are all sourced from small farms and artisans to tell an American story."
