Innovations In Chocolate

Mindful Choices
For the Professional


Whether it’s dairy free or vegan, gluten-free or paleo, plant-based or keto, eating habits inevitably change with the times. But 150 years in this business have instilled in us an unwavering belief: In any diet, there’s a place for chocolate.

Our new products marry the artistry of chocolate with evolving dietary awareness. We’ve created a range of products that speak to conscious eaters of all kinds, from classics that are now made on a dedicated dairy-free production line to products that leverage pure cacao, to innovative options free from refined sugars. Whatever your palate and creativity can imagine, there’s a world of flavor-forward options to bring it to life.

They say the only constant is change. For us, our constants are impeccable flavor and superior performance. No matter how lifestyles may change, we’re here to make chocolate an indelible part of life.

Beyond Sugar

Tastefully Sweetened
Sugar Redefined

In creating chocolate without refined sugars, our guiding principle was—as always—flavor first. Our Beyond Sugar offerings are new classics: inventive, decadent creations to inspire an enduring love of chocolate.

Coconut Sugar
Our innovative use of coconut sugar is formulated specifically to turn this 72% chocolate into a keto and paleo option without sugar alcohols. Coconut sugar also has a lower glycemic index than conventional sugar, and contains a range of naturally occurring minerals.

Stevia & Erythritol
For an experience without added sugar, our 58% and 61% chocolates are sweetened with stevia and erythritol for balanced and thoughtful flavor.

The Essence of Flavor
Rethinking Innovation

Cacao is perhaps the ultimate win-win ingredient: a sensory delight that is loved the world over, and a naturally potent food that’s keto- and paleo-friendly. In our Absolute Chocolate collection, you’ll find three vibrant expressions of cacao: our unsweetened wafers, cacao nibs, and cocoa powder. Each brings an innovative twist to recipes and confections, from a sprinkle of nibs on a frozen drink, to a lush 100% cacao enrobing. All are a celebration of flavor, a way to shine a light on cacao’s bold character—without any added sugar.

* Figures are based on a 15g serving size (5g cocoa rouge); finished products use and their corresponding serving size may change these figures. Nutritional information for 100g serving is available upon request. Not a low calorie food.
