All the Bitter & Golden Valley Bank

From Kitchen Experiment to Successful Business

At All the Bitter, Carly and Ian Blessing believe that what goes in your glass should nourish your body and lift your spirit. What started as a simple experiment with mason jars in their home kitchen has grown into a thriving business.

The couple, who met while working at the renowned French Laundry restaurant, creates handcrafted non-alcoholic bitters using organic, functional botanicals.

“Our customers aren’t just buying bitters,” explains Ian. “They’re investing in healthy, mindful living.”

 

Inviting Chico Into Their Dream

The community has embraced their dream, recently naming All the Bitter the Chico Chamber’s 2025 New Business of the Year.

Despite their rapid growth, the couple maintains their personal touch. When customers send emails or Instagram messages, they go directly to Carly and Ian—a testament to their commitment to authentic relationships.

 

A Bank That Understands Dreams

Golden Valley Bank has been more than just a financial institution for All the Bitter we’ve been partners in growth.

This personal approach mirrors All the Bitter’s own philosophy of putting relationships first. Both businesses share core values: community investment, personal service, and a commitment to helping others thrive.
