About Love Chock
Once upon a time, there was a small group of adventurers who set out on a journey to discover the world's finest cacao beans. They trekked through the lush jungles of South America, where they stumbled upon a hidden treasure trove of raw cacao, bursting with flavor and goodness. They tasted the cacao and were amazed by its delicious taste and health benefits-since every single bean carries important minerals, antioxidants and vitamins.
They wanted to create a chocolate which was different, so the Lovechock brand was born -a vegan, organic and raw chocolate, which respected all benefits of our farmer’s beautiful cacao beans. However, for us it was never just about chocolate but more about creating a movement rooted in love for people, farmers and the planet. This is why we believe that love should be at the heart of everything we do.
Love for you. Your well-being is what drives us. We know that you deserve a moment of pure bliss, hence we just use ingredients of the highest, organic quality and create our products with reduced or no sugar. So, you can enjoy our vegan chocolates wholeheartedly and with peace of mind.
Love for the farmer. We believe in direct trade and supporting communities. Thus, we encourage our cocoa farmers to use their outstanding skills in handling the cocoa bean and to take over the first stage of processing for us. So, they can continue to cultivate and produce the highest quality cacao- while being fairly compensated for their hard work.
Love for the planet. We also care deeply about the planet and believe a vegan diet is the best way to reduce the impact on planet earth. That is why all our products are 100% vegan and we package our chocolate in a special home compostable foil to reduce our footprint.
As time moved on, we realized that our customers wanted more than just a raw chocolate experience. They craved the smooth and delicious taste of chocolate, too. That's why we partnered with the best chocolatier in Belgium to create a range of irresistible, melt-in-the-mouth taste vegan chocolate treats, infused with the same love and care that goes into all our products.
For us and our customers, Lovechock chocolate is much more than just a sweet treat. It stands for quality of life, incomparable taste and mindful enjoyment - in harmony with nature and an awareness of sustainability. We see ourselves as experts in creating vegan chocolate and understand the cacao bean as no other. So, whether you choose our vegan-raw or vegan-smooth chocolate, you can be sure that it's made with love and passion every step of the way.
Lovechock is 100% organic and vegan, suitable for a plant-based diet, contains flavanols, and is dairy-free, soy-free and gluten-free.
We use RAW cacao, meaning that only the cacao beans’ outer shells are briefly and lightly roasted for hygiene reasons while the core stays raw. Just like you don’t overcook your veggies if you want to preserve their natural goodness!
“No refined sugar” is part of our mission so we sweeten our chocolate with natural coconut blossom nectar and use as little as possible.
Last but not least, we package our raw chocolates in "home compostable"-certified packaging.
Direct Trade
The cacao that Lovechock uses is produced in an honest way. Farmers are treated respectfully and paid a fair wage for growing best quality organic cacao for us. Lovechock follows the Direct Trade principle, meaning that we buy our cacao beans directly from farmers' cooperatives, cutting out the many intermediaries usually involved in the cacao industry.
Our Philosophy
We wholeheartedly believe that everyone deserves a moment of pure bliss. We are dedicated to creating delicious vegan chocolate that not only delights your taste buds but also contributes to your overall well-being. Our unwavering commitment to using carefully selected ingredients, practicing sustainability, and upholding ethical standards ensures that every bite of Lovechock chocolate is an indulgence in self-care. With our expertise in cacao and a deep understanding of its potential, we strive to introduce a diverse range of flavors and options, catering to all chocolate lovers. We aim to inspire a shift towards conscious consumption, making the world a better place, one bite at a time.
However, for us it was never just about chocolate but more about creating a movement rooted in love for people, farmers and the planet. This is why we believe that love should be at the heart of everything we do.
Love for You
Your well-being is what drives us. We know that you deserve a moment of pure bliss, hence we just use ingredients of the highest, organic quality and create our products with reduced or no sugar. So, you can enjoy our vegan chocolates wholeheartedly and with peace of mind.
We Love Our Farmers
We believe that the best quality cacao comes from
a partnership at eye level with our farmers, and paying them a fair price.
What is Direct Trade?
We know that "Fair Trade" has a good reputation. Still, we have chosen to go a step further and do Direct Trade.
Direct Trade means that we buy our cacao directly from local farmers' cooperatives. This allows us to have a much clearer understanding of the cacao supply chain and enables us to ensure fair prices, correct payments and respectful treatment for everyone involved.
Organic Cacao Farming
Our farmers only grow cacao that is certified organic. Organic quality is important for the taste of chocolate and keeping the earth healthy. No pesticides are used in the sustainable cultivation of Lovechock cacao (Skal 025561). Another advantage of the "no toxins, no mono-culture farming" policy is that farmers enjoy a better quality of life. Working in harmony with the natural habitat, they are not only farming cacao but also their own food and other cash crops, giving them multiple sources of income.
Production in South America
Another special feature of our raw cacao products is that the raw cacao mass is made locally in Ecuador and Peru. Unlike most other chocolate manufacturers, we do not ship the beans to Europe or Asia, where further production is cost-effective, but work with our local partners.
There are two reasons for this approach: The production of raw cacao mass is a special and highly sensitive procedure requiring short temperature-controlled fermentation, a strict pre-selection of the beans and special drying conditions. We are convinced that nobody does this better than our partners in Ecuador and Peru with their longstanding know-how and cacao traditions.
And secondly, we prefer to keep a bigger part of the value creation chain in the country of origin to create local incomes.
Our Chocolate Factory
Once finished, the cacao mass is shipped to Europe, directly to our chocolate making facility. Here we make all our delicious chocolates - mixing the recipes, forming the chocolate and packing it. The production takes place under temperature-controlled conditions to achieve the best quality.
Our mission to reduce waste
The world is changed by your example, not your opinion. As a chocolate manufacturer, Lovechock takes full responsibility to limit waste pollution as it has become one of the most pressing environmental issues. We must, of course, package our chocolate so that you can enjoy a piece of love at home. But how can we do that according to our Lovechock philosophy?
"Love for the Planet" is firmly anchored in the philosophy of Lovechock. It’s truly heartbreaking to see how waste affects our wildlife, climate and natural resources. The problem grows as the production of plastic increases and Mother Earth has a hard time dealing with it. At Lovechock, we strive to leave the earth to future generations in the best state possible by consciously reviewing how we can honour the planet. That’s why we wrap our chocolate in a home compostable packaging: an infinite flow where we use earth’s gifts in a humble and mindful way to, eventually, give it back to her.
Circular Packaging
Home Compostable Foil
In our role as pioneers - long before the European Union introduced a ban on free plastic bags to combat plastic waste - we set out to find a solution for environmentally friendly packaging. Now we can proudly say that our packaging has been home compostable since 2011. We use wood cellulose as a renewable resource to create a transparent foil which is 100% home compostable. The wood cellulose comes from the eucalyptus tree, which in turn comes from certified, sustainable forestry (PEFC and FSC).
Environmentally Friendly Wrapper
Now the home compostable foil is ready, we fill it with our delicious raw chocolate and finish it off with our iconic colourful Lovechock wrapper. The easily re-closeable PEFC carton wrapper is made from environmentally friendly paper from sustainable forests that also respect the socio-cultural values of the community. Don’t forget to recycle the carton wrapper and dispose of it in the paper container. In order to lower our ecological footprint, we keep redesigning our packaging through the years. The wrapper is now sourced from Europe instead of the USA and uses 20% less material than before.
