Weight Loss Journey: Losing 60lb with Sam Ratto of Videri Chocolate Ep 3

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!).

Be sure to get your Valentine's orders at Videri Chocolate Factory  in ASAP!
