Spread Love, It’s The Brooklyn Way! What could be more true to this sentiment than showing love to the community? At Greene Grape Provisions, we host a unique community of local food producers and farmers. By cutting out large distribution chains, we work with them directly to bring you high quality and ethically produced ingredients and products that give each producer the opportunity to continue to grow their business. And what could be sweeter this Valentine’s Day than supporting New York’s finest chocolatiers?

Valentine’s Day, while known for its mainstream commercial appeal, still holds a special place in our hearts. At the very least, any excuse to indulge in chocolate is fine by us! “Fair-trade, sustainably sourced, hand-crafted, and comes all wrapped up like a delicious gift,” are qualities that Senior Buyer Laura Heifetz says she looks for when supplying us with a bountiful selection of small-batch cocoa confections. And while life is like a box of chocolates, we think everyone deserves to know what they’re gonna get—at least when it comes to supporting a sustainable food system. So here’s our Valentine’s round-up to satisfy your sweet tooth!

Eat Chic puts a spin on the classics with chocolate hearts, made with other local creations like bean-to-bar Raaka chocolate, and Stagg Jams Cherry-Chai jam. While 50 million roses are given out every Valentine’s day, Jon Good’s box of artfully painted chocolate roses, filled with a delicate rosewater chocolate ganache, will set you apart from the bunch. And if chocolate seems too de rigeur, Fruition has got you covered with delectable brown butter caramels, spiked with Hudson Valley Baby Bourbon and dipped in their single origin dark chocolate.
To all of you who love chocolate or know a chocolate lover, we think this is a great week to treat your family, treat your friends, and definitely treat yourself!
