The passing of Ed Seguine, a well-known and respected person in the chocolate industry, is something that we must announce with the utmost regret and sorrow. Ed was not only a friend of cacao; he was also a fervent champion for every aspect of chocolate making, from the bean to the bar or everything in between.
The steadfast dedication he has shown to the chocolate industry has left an indelible impression, which has had an impact on the methods and standards that are followed across the supply chain. The craft of chocolate making was enhanced as a result of Ed’s commitment to sourcing, quality, and sustainability, which inspired a seemingly endless number of artists and manufacturers.
The warmth, generosity, and profound industry expertise that Ed possessed are what his friends and colleagues remember most about him. He served as a guide to a great number of people, always willing to impart his wisdom and assist others in developing. His enthusiasm for chocolate shone through in everything he did, and he was a firm believer in the capacity of cacao to bring people together and improve their lives.
As we contemplate Ed’s legacy, we are reminded of the achievements he made that contributed to the advancement of the chocolate industry. His legacy will endure in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to have known him, as well as in our unrelenting efforts to achieve greatness in our trade.
Our hearts go out to Ed’s family and loved ones. Please accept our sincerest sympathies. He is going to be sorely missed, but he will never be forgotten.
