Kate was 23 and hand-wrapped the first Bixby Bars, which are still a top seller. She later trained in bean-to-bar chocolate making at the Institute of Culinary Education and the Ecole Chocolat Professional School of Chocolate Arts. Today the company makes its chocolate in a former ice factory on Rockland’s working waterfront, roasting, winnowing, and milling the beans in house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe cacao is certified organic and comes through Uncommon Cacao, a specialty trader working with smallholder producers in more than 15 countries. Bar origins include a Haitian dark bar made with beans from a collective of small-scale growers, which won a 2023 sofi Gold Award, and a Guatemalan espresso bar. The sugar comes from the Native Green Cane Project, certified organic cane in Brazil that is harvested green rather than burned. Bixby also works with Maine producers: a vegan oat-milk bar made with Maine Grains, and a bourbon bar made with Maine’s only certified organic distillery. Its white chocolate Crème Brûlée bar has won two International Chocolate Awards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e✦ \u003cstrong\u003eCertifications and Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bean-to-Bar, Certified Organic (MOFGA, select products), Woman-Founded \u0026amp; Woman-Owned (Kate McAleer), Organic Cacao \u0026amp; Sugar, Locally Sourced Ingredients (Maine), Vegan Options, Award-Winning (sofi Gold Award, International Chocolate Awards)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sevensisterspdx.com\/pages\/our-certifications-guide\"\u003eSee Our Certification Guide\u003c\/a\u003e for More Information about Certifications and Details\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seven Sisters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53999086207265,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0037\/6094\/7270\/files\/Screenshot_2026-10-22_at_12.06.58_AM.png?v=1792655944","url":"https:\/\/sevensisterspdx.com\/products\/bixby-chocolate-sea-salted-caramel-aurora-borealis-advent-calendar","provider":"Seven Sisters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
