Pendleton Woolen Mills Partners with Alma Chocolate

Pendleton Woolen Mills, an American lifestyle brand located in Portland, Oregon, has partnered with local confectioner Alma Chocolate to introduce a collection of sweets made with the flavors of Oregon. This exciting partnership highlights the bounty of the Pacific Northwest and honors the shared company values of family business, craftsmanship, and quality.

Mort Bishop, President of Pendleton said, "Pendleton and Alma Chocolate share a commitment to quality and service. The chocolate is extraordinary and especially accented with fresh Oregon ingredients. We welcome this opportunity to work with an outstanding local Pacific Northwest business."
"It's a wonderful chance to create a line of high-end confections for an iconic Oregon company like Pendleton," said Sarah Hunt, Founder and CEO of Alma Chocolate. "This collaboration literally gives you a taste of the beautiful place we live and celebrates both family-owned companies, locally rooted, creating products that translate beautifully…no matter where you are."

Locally created, the packaging includes two of Pendleton's most noted design elements, an iconic Native American-inspired jacquard pattern, Canyonlands, combined with a traditional tartan. The unique wrapping further distinguishes the exceptional character and exclusivity of the offering.
