Today, we chat with Ben & Bob Schultz, the cofounders of Mez Candy Co, a chocolatey flavored candy made from Mesquite.
Brothers, Ben and Bob discussed their journey in creating Mez, starting with their experience in their family's pizza shops, igniting their curiosity to be creative with ingredients. They then explored the potential of Mesquite, a sustainable and nutritious ingredient, as an alternative to cocoa. Their initial product, "chocolate, but better," received mixed feedback, leading them to refine their approach.
The success of their candy format, the mini cups, highlighted the importance of unique flavors and accessible pricing. They plan to continue experimenting with new flavors and savory elements, aiming to balance sweetness with complexity.
It was a great chat with Ben & Bob learning about their journey with Mez and experimenting with an ingredient that is tasty, nutritious, regenerative AND sustainable.
