We spoke to the team at Love Cocoa to find out more about their chocolate, their love for the environment and their work with Bolney. Hereâs what they told us:
Tell us about Love Cocoa
âInspired by my great-great-great grandfather John Cadbury, I created Love Cocoa with the purpose of making great tasting chocolate bars here in Great Britain, in a way that’s loved by you, the planet, and its people.â – James Cadbury
How did you start/what is your history? And why?
Love Cocoa was set up 5 years ago and started from a small market stand right by Old Street station in East London. Chocolate certainly runs in the family, and I wanted to create a brand that championed ethically, sustainably sourced cocoa, whilst also giving back. Our plant a tree project that we started in 2020, combines all the things I wanted Love Cocoa to be – for every product we sell, we plant one tree and in 2020 we were able to plant 500,000 trees with cocoa farmers in Northern Cameroon. This year, weâre planting a further 500,000 in Kenya.
Whatâs your favourite thing about what you do?
The tree planting work that we do as a business is something that is really important to the whole team, and something that really sets us apart from other brands. Our whole team is incredibly passionate about sustainability, and weâre delighted that weâre able to champion sustainable initiatives within the company, whilst creating and selling such delicious products!
As an extra perk, weâre never going to complain about all the chocolate sampling in the office either!
Whatâs your favourite/most popular product?
Our tablet bars are a real customer favourite, with the honeycomb and salted caramel being especially popular. Our salted caramel truffles are also a firm favourite, people just canât get enough of salted caramel!
Why do you like working with Bolney?
Bolney champions the best of British, and as a fellow British maker, weâre all about supporting local businesses and championing the best of what our country has to offer. We love Bolneyâs attitude of being guided by nature and how sustainability is also a driving force behind much of the business. Similar to Love Cocoa, sustainability is a focus within the packaging too, and we love the fully recycled packaging⊠and the wine inside the bottle too!
Do you have any exciting plans/launches coming up?
With Christmas just around the corner, we have a range of new Christmas launches, including our charity advent calendar, where 100% of the profits will be given to the NHS. We will also be launching some new truffle flavours and perfect winter warmers – watch this space!
