Two chocolates.
Every bean its own bar.

We keep it simple so the cacao can speak. Every bar is made from one country's beans, plus our one Signature Blend of Vietnam and Ecuador, so the soil and climate come through in every square.

75%

Dark chocolate

Cacao and organic sugar. Nothing added to hide behind, so each origin tastes distinct.

55%

Milk chocolate

Darker than the milk bar you grew up on. More chocolate, less milk and sugar.

Made by Derik Swee · San Antonio

Grown there.
Made here.

Casa began in 2014 as a retired engineer's hobby in a home kitchen. Derik Swee joined after earning his degree in Baking and Pastry Arts from The Culinary Institute of America, spent a year and a half learning to make single-origin, bean-to-bar chocolate, then took over the shop with a partner to keep its legacy going.

Every bar starts with fair trade, ethically sourced, organically grown cacao. Only 200 to 300 shops in the U.S. make chocolate this way, from the bean, and Casa is San Antonio's.

I find happiness in seeing new customers’ faces light up with real pleasure when they come in and try the chocolate for the first time.
