Maribea chocolate going national

Spotlight

<p>Maribea's chocolate maker Meredith Horton adds nibs from albino cocoa beans to a melanger machine at Maribea's chocolate factory Tuesday in Odessa. A melanger features all-natural granite roller stones that refine roasted cocoa bean nibs into a thick liquid known as chocolate liquor. The processing allows for maximum retention of the beans’ inherent qualities. Maribea doesn't use any artificial flavoring or preservatives.</p>

Maribea Chocolate hasn’t been around for very long but is taking a sweet taste across the country.
