The nostalgic taste of a good, classic chocolate bar goes simply unmatched. Unwrapping your favorite bar at the end of a long day, or maybe enjoying a sweet treat as you trek from one side of the city to the next is always a good idea. Olive & Sinclair is an artisan chocolate shop in Nashville, Tennessee and it’s become one of the most popular sweet spots in the city: and for good reason. If you’re looking to up the ante on your sweet tooth, we have quite the spot for you…
You can find the Olive & Sinclair chocolate factory in East Nashville, Tennessee, though you may have seen it featured on national publication round-ups and touted by the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow.
It remains the first and only bean-to-bar artisan chocolate maker in Tennessee. Each bar is made using only ethically sourced, organic cacao, and the artisan Nashville chocolate has become one of the city's most popular exports.
Everything is slow-roasted and stone ground on-site here in Nashville, and the single-origin beans provide incredible, deep chocolate flavor in every bar.
Olive & Sinclair commonly offers factory tours, though the company did take a break during the COVID-19 pandemic. Make sure you check out the company's official website and social media accounts if you're looking to take advantage of the opportunity.
Olive & Sinclair uses a combination of both modern European chocolatier techniques as well as commonly accepted traditional methods to produce their indulgent chocolate bars.
Visitors have the chance to indulge in everything from duck fat caramels (yep, you read that right!) to buttermilk white chocolate. Although we'd recommend stopping by the Olive & Sinclair flagship store, you can also find the artisan chocolate bars in Nashville grocery stores and specialty shops around town.
Will you be visiting? Have you been to Olive & Sinclair? The company was founded in 2007 and its popularity shows no signs of waning.
Olive & Sinclair is a Nashville classic, and you can learn more about the company and how to support it both on its official website and Facebook page. Fall in love with the city all over again with a little something…sweet.
Some of the best views in Tennessee can be seen from the Chimney Tops Trail on the eastern side of the state.
