Why slowcocoa

Why shops and kitchens carry us

🗺️

Named origins, every bar

Each product uses cacao from one specific growing region: Cahabón, Tumaco, Wampu, PISA, Costa Esmeraldas, Rincón. No blends. We source through Uncommon Cacao and pay well above certification floors.

📋

Full certification stack

Vegan. Kosher-certified. Gluten-free facility. Peanut-free. Sesame-free. One to four organic ingredients per product. That covers most of the questions before they come up.

♻️

From cacao to compost

100% compostable packaging, certified. Cacao husks become cacao tea. Every part of the bean goes somewhere. Your customers can see that. Packaging that tells the story so your staff don't have to.

📍

Bronx-made, NYC-born

Handcrafted in the Bronx since 2021. Queer-owned, female co-founded. Featured on NPR's How I Built This and named the #1 Ethical & Sustainable Chocolate Brand by Green Matters (early 2025).

⚡

Powered by wind energy

Our Bronx studio runs on 100% renewable wind energy. When your customers ask about supply chain, that's a real answer.

🍫

Minimal ingredients. Real flavor.

One to four organic ingredients per product. The flavor comes from the cacao. Our partners tell us it's one of the first things their customers notice.

Common questions

FAQ

Yes. We ship wholesale orders nationwide. Retail buyers on Faire receive Faire's standard shipping and tracking. For direct orders, shipping is calculated at checkout or quoted with your order. Reach out for specifics on larger formats or bulk quantities.
Yes, for direct orders, we can build a mixed assortment to your specs. On Faire, case quantities are per-SKU. If you want a curated selection across origins, reach out directly and we'll put together an assortment that works for your shelf.
All slowcocoa products are vegan and Kosher-certified. Our facility is gluten-free, peanut-free, and sesame-free. Most bars are also free from tree nuts (though some products include almonds. Ask for a full allergen sheet). Each product uses one to four organic ingredients. We're happy to send a full spec sheet before you commit.
Our cacao powder is single-origin (Ecuador), minimally processed, and contains no additives or fillers. Commercial cocoa is often Dutch-processed (alkalized), which neutralizes the acidity and changes the flavor profile. Our powder is non-alkalized, so it brings more complexity and a brighter cacao character. Sugar-free.
We don't currently offer private label. Our branded packaging and the slowcocoa name are part of what you're putting on your shelf. That said, we're open to conversations about custom assortments, co-branded gift packs, or event-specific formats. Reach out and we'll see what makes sense.
Sealed bars and pouches have a 12-month shelf life from the production date. Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, heat, and strong odors. Ideal range is 65–70°F. Avoid refrigeration for finished bars; condensation can cause bloom. Chef's blocks and bulk formats should be stored similarly and used within 6 months once opened.
Yes. Mention sample request in the form below or reach out via email and we'll put together a tasting pack for you before any commitment. We'd rather you try the product first. Retail buyers on Faire are also protected by free returns on opening orders.
