More about Chocolatey Clare

Chocolatey Clare is a small Irish company built entirely on the core values of food ethics, fairness and sustainability, and every single decision is rooted in these values.

We only work with carefully selected suppliers who are involved in various humanitarian, environmental, and charitable projects that benefit local communities. These projects include rainforest protection and reforestation, provision of reliable sources of clean drinking water to remote communities, and protection of threatened natural habitats, the biodiversity they contain and the indigenous people who depend on them for their survival.

All Chocolatey Clare ingredients are sourced through companies that demonstrate robust ethical principles.

Chocolatey Clare’s ethos is based solidly on the ideals of fundamental respect for humans, other animals, and the environment.

Our luxury artisan products are made to Clare's unique recipe. The chocolate has a rich depth of flavour and an outstanding taste profile. Our plastic-free packaging is fully compostable/recyclable, and is printed with vegetable based ink using wind powered printing machines.

Chocolatey Clare is renowned for premium quality, excellent customer service, and optimum food ethics, thus representing the perfect that you will be proud to give and proud to receive.
