About Us
Samaritan Xocolata was founded in 2005 in the Osa Peninsula by Kimberley Blackwell.
In 2011, after her death, we moved to Canaan de Rivas, and began to upgrade the entire concept, including new products and flavors, as well as processes. In June 2014, we opened our current factory and shop on Rt 242, the main road to Parque Nacional Chirripo, in Canaan de Rivas.
Our Mission
In a nutshell, so to speak: We love making the best chocolate we can and HELPING PEOPLE FEEL GOOD about chocolate. We love seeing the light in someone's eyes when they taste our chocolate. We are committed to using the best ingredients, and being socially and environmentally responsible on every level possible for us.
