From Bean to Bar: The Story Behind Exceptional Chocolate
What does it take to build a chocolate company that lasts more than 150 years? Gary Guittard will give us a look (and taste) inside one of Burlingame’s most enduring family businesses, founded in 1868. We’ll explore the Guittard family story, the company’s deep Burlingame roots, and what it takes to make exceptional chocolate. Gary will share how he has led the company since 1989, championing “quality from the ground up” through meticulous sourcing, craft manufacturing, and rigorous in-house quality standards.
