STORY
Our journey
On my Vespa in 2018, I decided to ride along the Mekong River to embark on the chocolate journey. By visiting renowned cocoa-growing regions in the Mekong Delta, I was fell in love by conversations with farmers and the chocolate production process.
We understood that with Vietnam’s premium cocoa beans, combined with creative ingredients, it would undoubtedly create a flavor like never before.
And now, I continue this sweet journey with my team: Present the first chocolates made in Phu Quoc island by the bartenders
Our Ingredient
Việt Nam stands out as one of the most suitable regions globally for cultivating cacao, thanks to its favorable climate and fertile soil. Grown on lush alluvial soil or nutrient-rich basaltic red soil, the cocoa here boasts a distinctive fruity flavor.
Cacao plants are often intercropped under the shade of coconut trees, enhancing the unique taste profile. The primary harvest periods occur in April-May and October-November.
Seeds are meticulously researched and developed in Vietnam to align with the diverse soil and climate conditions, ensuring optimal suitability.
Our Credo
UNLOCKING FOLK HERITAGE – NOURISHING VIETNAMESE AGRICULTURE
Bittersweet crafts chocolate not only from cacao beans, but from the way we care for the land, the people, and the future. We work hand in hand with farmers and fermentation experts to cultivate quality cacao, foster a sustainable ecosystem, and awaken the untapped potential of Vietnamese agriculture. Each bar of chocolate is more than sweetness, it is the essence of preservation, connection, and shared growth with our community.
Our collaborations

They’re a testament to Bittersweet’s commitment to quality, collaboration, and showcasing the very best that Vietnam has to offer.
