Coco-Zen

What is Coco-Zen?
Coco-Zen is a state of nirvana achieved by surrendering to the taste and aroma of luscious, rich chocolate. It's knowing that you are helping our planet and its people, because here at Coco-Zen we use only organic and Fair Trade Certified™ chocolate in all of our products. A state of ecstasy, peace and harmony, Coco-Zen is oneness with chocolate.

Our Philosophy
At Coco-Zen, we believe that all living things are connected – that all our actions not only affect ourselves but also the world around us.

As chocolatiers, we believe that we should not only strive to create the best chocolate treats, but in doing so, consider how we affect those who grow the cocoa and the land from which it comes. Because of this, we use only organic and Fair Trade Certified™ chocolate in our truffles. In fact, all of our products are Fair Trade Certified™, and we are currently working towards organic certification.

As retailers, we are conscious of the impact that packaging and marketing materials have on the environment. Whenever available, we print on post-consumer recycled paper. Our Bulk Truffles are packaged in recyclable kraft corrugated boxes, and our packaged truffle containers are designed to be reused as well as recycled. In our shipment boxes, we use packing material made from recycled cardboard (no styrofoam peanuts here!). While we hope to have made steps in the right direction, we continually look for new, more environmentally friendly ways to package and market our products.

We believe in oneness with our planet and its people – we believe in a fair and more sustainable way of doing business.

Mavrakos Chocolate is Back!

Chocolate sweet tooths throw out those toothbrushes and fling that toothpaste in the wind! The venerable old Mavrakos Chocolates has been reborn and is available at Chocolate.com!

Find all these gotta-have splurges for friends, family or yourself at Chocolate.com's new Mavrakos location: Mavrakos Chocolates.

Recipes from the company's beginning in 1913 are being used, and even some of the vintage equipment is being brought back into service. In 1984 the Archibald Candy Co. retired the brand, but the recipes were passed down to Dan Abel of the Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Company. His company brings them back for us today.
