Meet the Maker
Josh and Kristin Mohagen
Josh and Kristin fell in love with chocolate making and the complexity of cacao while honeymooning in San Francisco. Their passion became Sted, meaning “Place,” recognizing their commitment to Honor Place, Create Connection, and Celebrate Taste in everything they make.
“Each of our organic, single-origin dark chocolate bars have unique taste profiles, much like wine or coffee. We use ethically sourced cacao beans, hand sorted, small batch roasted, and stone-ground for several days, molded into bars and hand wrapped in Fergus Falls. Crafting chocolate our way is about patience with the process, nurturing the ingredients, and celebrating the beauty of it all.”
