To mark the cinema release of the concert film \u201cHit Me Hard And Soft\u201d, Billie Eilish and iChoc are launching a strictly limited special edition \u2013 based on Billie\u2019s favourite iChoc flavour, \u201cPlanty Classic\u201d.<\/p>\n

What makes this special? This isn\u2019t your typical celebrity collaboration. Billie Eilish has been a fan of iChoc for a long time and has been enjoying our chocolate in her private life for years. That\u2019s why she invited us to become part of her official merchandise range.<\/p>\n

The official Billie Eilish x iChoc Limited Edition is now available to mark the film release of \u201cHit Me Hard And Soft\u201d \u2013 exclusively in the Billie Eilish online shop<\/strong><\/a> and selected US cinema chains.<\/p>\n

The jury particularly highlighted how our project effectively combines raw material sourcing, transparency and the common good, setting a new standard for sustainable chocolate consumption.<\/p>\n

The award was presented in D\u00fcsseldorf on 4 December, and our managing director Gerrit Wiezoreck proudly accepted the honour in the \u2018value chain\u2019 transformation field. It was a great moment for us! Gerrit sums it up aptly: \u2018With Farmer-To-Bar, we are showing that sustainability becomes effective when we make it completely transparent \u2013 and really let the people at the beginning of the chain participate.\u2019

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<\/strong> in the “Chocolats” category. Meilleur Produit Bio<\/strong> (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.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” el_class=”text-img-three pad-md text-image-left full-width-tablet para1 side-pad reverse-tablet”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”pad-lg-col bg-text-col”][vc_custom_heading text=”ICHOC WINS AWARD IN THE UK” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text][April 2023]\u00a0<\/strong>We won!

For this reason, production in Herford is now carbon neutral<\/strong>.
