There's a lot of great chocolate coming out of Somerville right now. Whether you prefer the gritty, elemental goodness of bean-to-bar, or the decadent, silky mouth-feel and creative flavoring of a French-style confection — you can find your fix at the Aeronaut Foods Hub .

Check out their sweet stories in our Tastemakers video.
