ABOUT THE CHOCOLATE
Most chocolate companies roast the cacao beans as a part of their process in making their chocolate. We skip this stage in order to maintain the natural properties that are found in a cacao bean. This is what is known as raw cacao.
Oxford Brookes tested our chocolate and found "significantly higher levels of antioxidants and polyphenols compared to four leading UK dark chocolate brands.”
- We use yacon syrup, a low-glycemic sweetener, in many of our chocolate bars. In fact, we are the only chocolate producing company in the UK that sweetens some of our chocolate bars with only yacon syrup.
- Our chocolate is handcrafted from raw, unroasted Criollo Cacao, a rare heritage variety known for its rich, complex flavor profile.
- We source our cacao ethically from a cooperative of farmers in the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest, ensuring fair trade practices and supporting sustainable agroforestry techniques.
- Our chocolate is completely plant-based, vegan, and organic, catering to various dietary preferences and lifestyles.
- All of our chocolate bars are free from the top 14 allergens, making them suitable for people with food allergies or intolerances.
- We use plastic-free, compostable packaging for all of our products, demonstrating our commitment to environmental sustainability.
- Studies have shown that our chocolate contains significantly higher levels of antioxidants and polyphenols compared to leading dark chocolate brands, thanks to our use of raw, unroasted cacao beans.

All of our bars are 35g each, and measure 11.2cm x 4.2cm.
Our chocolate contains no refined sugar. Instead, we sweeten our bars with healthier, natural alternatives. No artificial sweeteners or ingredients are used. We use Yacon Syrup, in four of our bars. We also use Coconut Sugar in our Vegan Mylk Chocolate Bars.
Coconut sugar has a GI (Glycaemic index) of 54, 10% lower than regular sugar. Yacon syrup has a GI of just 1.
The lower the GI, the lower the impact on your blood sugar levels.
