Join Dietitian Chris Newport as she talks with Sam Ratto, owner of Videri Chocolate Factory in downtown Raleigh. While he may not say it (nor will you find it on his website), Sam's renowned as one of the best chocolatier's in the nation. And for good reason: he's CRAZY passionate about everything chocolate, including how it's grown, shipped, roasted, grinded, and more. Raised by farmers, then getting into golf and the skateboarding industry, Sam may seem like an unlikely person to get into making chocolate. But when you hear his story about a child with an allergy who cried in his store because he could finally taste chocolate without a reaction, you'll understand why he does it. Learn why Videri Chocolate Factory in downtown Raleigh should be one of the first places you visit once the pandemic eases. Hear all about how chocolate is made and how his chocolate is different than the stuff at the grocery store. Listen to Sam's journey into fitness, with the help of local gyms Raleigh Strength and Madabolic. Learn how Sam lost 60 pounds by "building memories and experiences" rather than starving himself (in fact, he eats over 1/2 cup of cocoa nibs per day!).We're proud to support Videri Chocolate Factory (local businesses supporting local businesses!) by using their delicious dairy-free, gluten-free dark chocolate pieces in our famous protein bites for The Fueling Edge.

Videri Chocolate: Sam Ratto, how chocolate is made & his journey into fitness (losing 60lb!)

Many of us grew up thinking that Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory was a far-fetched dream, but Sam Ratto has made chocolate making a reality in downtown Raleigh.  He’s the co-founder and owner of Videri Chocolate, where he makes ethically-sourced chocolate bars and bonbons.  We had the chance to sit down with him and hear about how he uses technology to get delicious chocolate into the hands of people who love it.  What role does technology play in the life of a chocolate maker? And how does a global pandemic affect the day-to-day life of his small business? Listen in.
