List of products by manufacturer Raaka Virgin Chocolate

The word raaka means raw in Finnish. We claim no Finnish heritage, but the cadence of the word and its meaning capture the essence of our chocolate and our process. When we make chocolate we're after something that feels the way Raaka sounds: strong, wild, playful, and most of all, different. We are unserious people who take our chocolate seriously.

We're a strange bunch who all concur on one simple idea: We want to make delicious, creative chocolate that showcases the wilder side of cacao and do so in a way that is as environmentally and socially responsible as we can.

We make all our chocolate in Red Hook, Brooklyn at 64 Seabring Street.

Most chocolate available today is made with roasted cacao beans. The process is considered essential to mass chocolate production, along with generous amounts of cocoa butter and vanilla. In the attempt to create a perfectly palatable and delicious "chocolate-ty" flavor sometimes the complex and unique flavors of the cacao beans are lost.

Cacao beans have a greater range of flavors than "chocolate". Some don't taste "chocolate-ty" at all. So we take a different approach: make chocolate that preserves the complex and surprising flavors of the cacao beans we start with, and create an adventurous and novel chocolate tasting experience.

All of our chocolate is made, packaged, and distributed by our team in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Each step is carried out by one of our skilled and creative chocolate makers with a keen attention to detail. We hope that with each bite our customers can taste the love and care put into every batch.
