Coco Polo bliss™ is our chocolate evolution.
In 1995, after being small artisanal makers of chocolates, our diabetic dad, our inspiration, pointed out that everybody needs the right foods to help maintain health and the right necessary soul foods to feed our spirit.
Chocolate was on his list of necessary foods, sugar was not. He thought that chocolate without sugars did not taste like real chocolate. We agreed that quality chocolate free from sugars had not lived up to its taste potential.
Experimenting with novel newly accessible natural ingredients to replace processed sugar, we wanted to provide the same "soul food" satisfaction to our consumers as regular chocolate.
In 1997, our first Coco Polo 70% natural sugar free chocolate was our way of honoring the cacao bean without the distraction from sugar, keeping the chocolate familiar, comforting, and enjoyable.
Our belief was that the elimination of any added sugars, should not result in a reduction in taste expectations.
Coco Polo bliss™ has received a full certification from the Upcycled Food Association™.
As manufacturers, we transform naturally grown foods, like the whole cacao fruit, into familiar and comforting chocolate.
We have the responsibility and ability to deliver more food value, free from unnecessary carbs and fibers, with ingredients that are rich and uncomplicated.
The cacao-fruit is a gift already full of abundant nutrition.
