OUR CHOCOLATE

We only source chocolate from Colombia from plantations we visit on annual basis, assuring the highest standard of ethics as well as highest quality of cocoa beans. Challenging industry norms, we begin making our chocolate at origin before passionately transforming it in Edinburgh. As a result, more wealth remains within developing economies.

We are proud to be:

  1. Palm oil free
  2. Vegan (all dark chocolates), Vegetarian (everything else)
  3. Origin made
  4. Supporting artists

Calum Haggerty, Director of COCO, said: ‘We are delighted to be launching our new collection of 12 bars that not only combine unique flavours with the highest quality ethical chocolate but also bold artworks by independent artists.

‘We are as passionate about contemporary art as ethical chocolate. To be able to support artists as well as challenge the industry to produce chocolate more ethically is what drives our work.’
