Raaka Chocolate

Raaka is an organic, bean-to-bar chocolate factory in Red Hook, Brooklyn, making unroasted dark chocolate from single-origin cacao sourced directly from farms in Uganda, Tanzania, and the Dominican Republic. The factory runs hands-on classes every weekend where you can make chocolate from scratch, roll truffles by hand, churn ice cream, or explore how chocolate pairs with coffee and wine. New York Times has praised the experience, and the factory shop carries their full retail line so you can stock up before you leave.
