Uncommon Cacao × Silva Cacao: A New Era for Craft Chocolate Sourcing

Saturday October 3, 2026 5:00pm - 6:00pm PDT

Cacao Stage

Big news travels fast in craft chocolate: Uncommon Cacao and Silva Cacao are now one team. So what does that actually mean for the makers, buyers, and cacao nerds of North America? Join Emily Stone and Katrien Delaet for a candid (and fun, we promise) conversation about how two companies -- one built in the Americas on radical transparency, the other in Europe on deep care for planet and people -- came together, what's ahead for our joint sourcing, and why we think this is good news for your chocolate. We'll also include deeper updates focused specifically on our partner producers in Venezuela and at Maya Mountain Cacao in Belize.
