After reading the Nantucket Today, "2024 Best of" issue last year, we've been customers of Nantucket Faraway Chocolate! Simply put, it is custom - gourmet chocolate made by hand from 'bean to bar' by Andre and his wife, Erica. Very high quality, purity, and deliciousness.
The ingredients are exceptionally fresh and searched for, world-wide. The combinations of 50% or 70% cocoa and the addition of cranberries, ginger, orange peel, marshmallow, etc. make the bars quite a unique, adult treat. Toffee, bark, and cocoa - all are also exceptional.
Prices very reasonable. Service is just the best. Wednesday, during tourist season (May to Labor Day) they run a class on how to make chocolate.
We vacation on ACK, usually do two or three overnight trips, and about six day trips. One thing is certain: when we get off at Straight Wharf, we walk over to Old South Wharf and buy up a bunch of stuff. They also ship to the mainland, which is nice so we don't have to carry it around the island.
No negatives whatsoever. A must visit chocolatier.
