Hugo and Horacio, the Mixed Monk chocolate makers

Our Story

Two monks, one obsession

A faceted ruby chocolate bonbon flecked with gold

Made by hand

Poured, cured and finished slowly

Hugo and Horacio have spent their lives chasing the moment a chocolate meets the right drink and both become something else entirely. Every bonbon is poured, cured and finished by hand in small batches.

Made slowly. Shared generously.

A World of Flavor

Chocolate is where our adventure begins. Flavor is where it takes us.

Mixed Monk began with artisan chocolate, but the larger mission is flavor discovery. Chocolate gives us a remarkable medium for exploring fruit, spice, smoke, sweetness, acidity, bitterness, texture and aroma — and for discovering what happens when those ideas meet wine, spirits, beer and the table.

We are building experiences around how people discover and understand flavor: pairing the familiar with the unexpected and making every tasting an invitation to explore.

The Flavor Lab

Something is always brewing in the monastery.

The Flavor Lab is where curiosity leads: experimental chocolate, limited releases, collaborations, flavor research and pairing experiments. Over time, that exploration may open new paths into spices, seasonings and other culinary creations.

The adventure doesn't end with chocolate.

The Flavor Lab is a vision for what comes next, not a collection currently available for purchase.
