French Broad Chocolates operates a small chocolate factory in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, where cacao is roasted, cracked, winnowed, ground, conched and tempered in small batches. By directly sourcing fine-flavor cacao, the company emphasizes a connection to its origins while producing truffles, caramels, ice cream and pastries. These offerings are available at its flagship dessert restaurant, the French Broad Chocolate Lounge, and are shipped nationwide as handcrafted confections and chocolate bars. The business sits in the food and beverage services industry, serving dessert lovers and specialty confections buyers who value artisanal, ingredient-driven products and a consumer experience that blends manufacturing with a retail café. In April 2026 the company voluntarily recalled walnut-containing bonbons after an FDA notice highlighted labeling that could fail to warn about the allergens, with reports indicating a potential salmonella contamination in the walnuts.
