Where Does GNAW Chocolate Actually Come From?

Ever wondered where a bar of GNAW chocolate begins its journey? It all starts in Colombia, in regions known for some of the most vibrant and flavourful cocoa in the world. Every bar is crafted using single-origin Colombian cocoa, grown by skilled farmers who are fairly paid for their work and expertise.

This isn’t just your run-of-the-mill cocoa. The blend used in GNAW chocolate is a completely exclusive custom flavour profile. It's the result of over 2 weeks straight of testing and testing many different blends until 'Teri's Recipe' was finally locked in. It’s a combination that can’t be picked up from another brand or found in generic supply chains.

So what does all of this mean for chocolate lovers?

It means every bite delivers a smooth, rich and consistent premium flavour. It means each bar is made from responsibly sourced cocoa, grown with care, attention and pride. It also means the farmers behind every harvest are valued properly for their craft, allowing them to build sustainable futures for their families and communities.

Good chocolate should taste great and feel great. Ours does both, right from the first bite.

Why It’s Worth the Extra Effort

Choosing single-origin cocoa is more than just a flavour decision. It’s a commitment to transparency, ethics and having respect for the people at the core of chocolate making. Many mass-market cocoa supply chains mix beans from countless unknown sources, shipped through multiple middlemen, which makes it almost impossible to trace where the cocoa actually comes from.

And when sources are blurred, issues often hide in the shadows. Unfair pay. Poor working conditions. Entire families relying on unstable income. Unfortunately in some regions, poverty sits so deep that children end up working instead of going to school. These are the realities behind low-cost, non-traceable cocoa sourcing of mass-market cheap chocolate.

Single-origin sourcing cuts straight through all that noise. Knowing exactly where the cocoa is grown means proper standards can be upheld. Fair pay guaranteed. Farming communities receive the support they need. Kids get to go to school instead of work. Rather than being left vulnerable, it’s a model that puts people first, not profit margins.

Conclusion

Great chocolate shouldn’t come with hidden costs. This is why single-origin sourcing is at the heart of every GNAW bar. It's better for the craft, better for the farmers and far better for the chocolate in your hand. It’s proof that chocolate can taste incredible and still do right by the people who make it all possible.
