Meet the Team

The team at Askinosie Chocolate treats each other like family, mostly because we are. Our hodgepodge of backgrounds and talents isn’t quite what you’d expect from a world-renowned team of chocolate makers, but that’s the beauty of it. Above all though, we work together to ensure our cocoa farmers, customers, fans and friends feel like family too.
