Producer’s Background:

Ranger Chocolate Co. produces small-batch chocolate and specialty food products rooted in Portland’s independent craft food culture.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve over yogurt, with milk alternatives, or alongside fresh berries to highlight the granola’s toasted grain and cacao profile. Pair with brunch-style sparkling wines, dry cider, or lighter-bodied Pinot Noir rosé that complement the maple and nut-driven character without overwhelming the granola’s texture. Coffee-based cocktails, Espresso Martinis, bourbon cold brew drinks, or cream sherry also pair especially well, reinforcing the interplay between roasted grain, cacao bitterness, and subtle sweetness.
