MEILLEUR BIO AWARD IN FRANCE
[March 2024] Vive la France végane ! Good news from our neighbouring country. Our iChoc “Salty Pretzel” is apparently also a hit in France and has won the coveted Meilleur Produit Bio award in the “Chocolats” category. Meilleur Produit Bio (Best Of Bio) has been the biggest award for the organic specialised trade since 2012. Every year, it honours outstanding organic products that are available in the French organic trade. The decision is made by a jury of over 100 so-called “supertesters”, who are carefully selected in a special application process. What they all have in common is an affinity for organic products.
ICHOC WINS AWARD IN THE UK
[April 2023] We won! Our delicious iChoc Salty Pretzel won Silver in the Vegan Food and Living Awards 2023. Thanks to all our wonderful team who did their best to come up with this fun flavor and achieved with our new recipe one of the best vegan chocolates that you can find today. This wouldn´t be possible without the hard work of cocoa farmers in the Dominican Republic, thanks to them we can get high-quality organic cocoa, key ingredient to our success. This award motivates us to keep improving ourselves as a brand and keep innovating as chocolate makers to prove everyone that one can enjoy a good chocolate and at the same time care for the people and the planet. The Future is Vegan!
ICHOC PRODUCES BILLIE EILISH CHOCOLATE EDITION
[November 2021] An exciting story is currently taking place in the office of EcoFinia GmbH in Bochum, which is behind the vegan organic chocolate brand iChoc. Thanks to an attentive teenager and several coincidences, the organic chocolate company is now producing Billie Eilish’s first vegan chocolate – as limited “Happier Than Ever” album special. Of course, it’s Billie’s favorite “Classic” flavor. Purely plant-based chocolate based on rice drink. The chocolate sold out in no time. How much fun she has working with iChoc, Billie explains on Instagram: “I […] want people to know how good vegan goods can be! I love them for doing this with me, what a dream.”
CANADA: NATIONAL NUTRITION AWARD FOR ICHOC
It seems that Canada loves honest, plant-based chocolate! IChoc recently received the National Nutrition Award 2019 in the “Best Bar” category – with the entire iChoc product line that “makes an important contribution to conscious nutrition in Canada”! We are incredibly proud and infinitely grateful for the recognition we are currently receiving in Canada! Canadian vegans – we love you!
CLIMATE-NEUTRAL PRODUCTION IS NOW OURS!
As an organic producer, it goes without saying that we constantly question our work and see how we can make a further contribution to a healthier environment. Of course, this also includes the CO2 emissions caused by the production of our chocolates. We are very pleased that our production partner – the Weinrich chocolate factory in Herford, Westphalia – is always setting an example here. For this reason, production in Herford is now carbon neutral. This means that the CO2 emissions generated in the chocolate factory are offset in the same amount via a cocoa-related climate protection project by “Climate Partner” in Sierra Leone.
