Every good adventure starts with a love story. Ours begins with the love for fairness and equity, the love for people and our planet, the love for exquisite taste and good ingredients. And in our case, the love for gourmet chocolate. When we started Chocolat-e Inc, we asked ourselves: what is the point of creating another chocolate brand if not ethical? If not sustainable? If not socially responsible? If not focused on the best taste? If not dedicated to giving you the best experience? So we’re working every day trying to improve the world of chocolate. We source our sustainably and ethically grown cocoa beans through B Corp certified Valrhona with the assurance that everyone along the supply chain is paid and treated decently. We constantly search for better and greener packaging. We consistently work on producing the best products made with the best ingredients. We create partnerships with good companies such as Exilior (B Corp), Premium Growers, and others to create the best quality products. And we give back as much as we can to the community. 1% for the Planet affiliated and up to 10% of our profit goes to Ukandu. Check them out; they’re fantastic. Chocolat-e Inc.: born in Oregon, made in France. An international spirit and a human mission.
