Our Story
Superfood Cocoa was founded by Shama, a passionate chocolate maker who wanted to create chocolate that celebrated the true flavour and natural qualities of cacao. Frustrated by the highly processed chocolate found in many mainstream products, she set out to create a more authentic style of chocolate that respected the origin of the cacao bean.
The journey began with discovering the incredible variety of flavours that exist within cacao. Just like coffee, wine and whisky, different cacao beans have their own unique characteristics depending on where they are grown, how they are fermented and how they are roasted. This inspired Shama to focus on single-origin beans and small-batch production.
Every part of the chocolate-making process is carried out with care, from sourcing exceptional cacao beans through ethical suppliers to roasting, grinding, conching and tempering by hand. The result is chocolate that allows the natural complexity of the cacao to shine through.
Superfood Cocoa has grown into an award-winning London chocolate maker, producing a range of bars, cacao drinks and chocolate creations that offer a different experience from conventional confectionery. The company's mission remains simple: to create delicious chocolate made with integrity, craftsmanship and respect for cacao farmers.
Meet The Team
Shama is the founder and chocolatier behind Superfood Cocoa. A passionate craft chocolate maker, she personally oversees the chocolate-making process, from selecting cacao beans through to creating the finished bars.
Her approach is rooted in curiosity, craftsmanship and a desire to help people rediscover what real chocolate can taste like. Rather than masking cacao with excessive sugar or unnecessary ingredients, Shama focuses on bringing out the natural flavours of exceptional beans.
Working from London, she continues to produce chocolate in small batches while sharing her passion for ethically sourced cacao and bean-to-bar chocolate.
How It's Made
Superfood Cocoa follows a true bean-to-bar approach, controlling every stage of production from the raw cacao bean to the finished chocolate bar.
The process begins with carefully selected single-origin cacao beans sourced through ethical suppliers with direct relationships with cacao farmers. The beans are then roasted to develop their natural flavours before being ground and refined in a stone grinder for up to 72 hours.
The chocolate maker also presses its own single-origin cocoa butter from the same cacao beans used in production, creating an exceptionally smooth texture and richer flavour profile.
Every batch is handmade in small quantities, allowing careful attention to detail throughout the process.
Sustainability
Ethical sourcing and respect for cacao farmers are central to Superfood Cocoa's approach. The company works with suppliers who have direct relationships with cacao growers, helping ensure traceability and responsible sourcing.
The chocolate is made using carefully selected ingredients and avoids unnecessary additives, palm oil, emulsifiers and highly processed ingredients. Superfood Cocoa also invests in sustainable packaging options, including recyclable and biodegradable materials where possible.
