Biography:

Prior to making chocolate, Tony Najjar worked in global management consulting for over 25 years. He came across craft chocolate, which become his dream child after one of his California business trips back in 2006, where he was introduced to small-batch chocolate makers shops in the bay area. He was intrigued by the chocolate making process, its purity, simplicity and the richness of flavors that come only from 2 ingredients. He immediately fell in love and he began his journey as a hobby in 2006, then evolved to a part-time business in 2009, and finally to a full-time business working and growing XOCOLLA in 2015.

Tony’s mission is to share his passion and love for chocolate and raise awareness of craft chocolate among chocolate and clean food enthusiasts.
