CocoVaa Chocolatier

CocoVaa Chocolatier is a micro-batch artisanal chocolate maker known for flavor-driven fine chocolate. Its confections include saffron-infused bonbons and blueberry pie bonbons, and the chocolates are inspired by global travel and local ingredients. The company says it uses single-origin couvertures made in the countries where the cacao is grown, along with Wisconsin cream and butter and local producers.

The business is woman-owned and started as a side project before opening its first shop in 2018. It has a shop at 10 Odana Court in Madison, where a flavor lineup, an online shop and an advent calendar are available. Awards from the Academy of Chocolate Awards and a James Beard semi-finalist nomination are listed on its site.
