In the mid-1800s, Etienne Guittard ventured from Tournus, France to the Barbary Coast in hopes of striking it rich during the California Gold Rush. He brought delicious chocolate from his uncle's factory to trade for mining supplies but soon discovered that wealthy miners were willing to pay a premium for his treat. Armed with the knowledge that there was another kind of "gold", he sailed back to France to finesse his craft and in 1868 returned to San Francisco and opened Guittard Chocolate on Sansome Street.  Although he started from scratch with only a few bags of cocoa beans, by the time of Etienne Guittard’s death in 1899, Guittard Chocolate was an established enterprise with an integral role in the growth of the business community of San Francisco. Since then, Guittard Chocolate Company has gone through hardships brought on by the 1906 earthquake, WW1, and WW2, but remain to be an integral part of the American chocolate production industry. Guittard’s craft is as much about chocolate as it is about supporting the people and places that make harvesting such quality cocoa beans for their chocolate possible.
