Background

Foodin’s raw chocolates are the result of long-standing passion and responsible development. Our founder Lasse Jalkanen is known for his great love of raw chocolate, which is why chocolates are a particularly important product group for us at Foodin.

Ingredient Origins

The chocolate is made from cacao beans of the original Criollo variety, grown by hundreds of families as their life’s work in the Peruvian Amazon, in the heart of the rainforest. Our raw chocolate gets its sweetness from Indonesian coconut sugar, hailed as the world’s most sustainable sweetener, which has a low glycaemic index.

Finnish Craftsmanship

Foodin’s raw chocolate is handcrafted in Finland at our Vaajakoski factory. The raw chocolate is made using the traditional stone ground method, in which giant millstones grind the ingredients into chocolate mass for two to three days. The low temperature of the production process, below 42 degrees, ensures that the properties of the cacao bean are preserved all the way to the finished product. The gentle stone mill treatment also affects the texture and smoothness of the chocolate.

Production Process

Once the chocolate mass is ready, our stone ground masters Sanna and Malla both carry out a rigorous assessment of its taste and texture. It is important to make sure the mass is even and silky smooth and that the flavour is just right. After this, the mass is tempered, i.e. heat-treated. Tempering ensures the chocolate has a glossy, beautiful shade. Dark chocolate requires a slightly higher tempering temperature than light chocolate. The tempered chocolate mass is shaped into chocolate bars using ready-made moulds. The finished bars are then run over a vibrating table, which removes air bubbles and smooths the surface to a beautiful finish. The chocolate bars are cooled in the fridge.
