Organic chocolate, vegan chocolate and chocolate sticks

Since we marketed the first organic chocolate in the world in 1987, our chocolate product line has continuously grown. Rapunzel chocolates stand for best fair trade quality and organically cultivated, valuable and fair trade ingredients. The top-quality cocoa that we use for our chocolate comes from Bolivia, Peru and the Dominican Republic.

Thoroughly conched - melts on the tongue
Rapunzel chocolate are manufactured following the best manufacturing traditions. Extended conching makes our chocolate especially delicious. During the conching process, the hidden wealth of the noble cocoa aromas is developed step by step until its tender glaze has fully unfolded.

Frequently asked questions about chocolate

Why is there no raw food quality chocolate nor cocoa from Rapunzel?

More and more manufacturers promote the raw food quality of their chocolate products. However, until now there is no generally recognized definitions available for raw food quality. Rapunzel defines products as raw food products if they have not been treated with a temperature exceeding 40°C during the entire manufacturing process. During the processing of the cocoa beans, however, the processing temperatures exceed 40°C:

After the harvest, the cocoa beans are removed from the white cocoa fruit pulp. Subsequently, the beans are fermented in wooden crates ("sweatboxes"). The fermentation process is important for the development of aromas and flavorings. During this process, temperatures up to 50°C may develop.

When the drying is finished, the cocoa flavor is further developed during the roasting process. The roasting also kills germs on the cocoa beans.

Due to the high temperatures that develop during the fermentation process we cannot offer cocoa in raw food quality. For Rapunzel, product safety and top quality are the most important criteria. We can only guarantee these criteria through the roasting process.

Why does chocolate get white spots?

Chocolate may change its color when it is stored at warm storage temperatures. Cocoa butter starts to melt at 25°C and leaks onto the chocolate surface (the chocolate is "sweating"). If the chocolate is refrigerated now, the leaked cocoa butter cannot be absorbed by the chocolate bar and solidifies on the surface. This process is irreversible.

The spots have no effect on quality and taste, but its appearance is affected.

Where does the cocoa for Rapunzel chocolate come from?

We source the cocoa from two HAND IN HAND partners: the El Ceibo Cooperative in Bolivia and the Conacado Cooperative in the Dominican Republic.

How much cadmium is there in Rapunzel chocolate?

Like certain oilseeds (e.g. sunflowers, linseed), the cocoa plant is a plant that accumulates cadmium from the soil.

Rapunzel purchases cocoa only from areas with soils that have particularly low cadmium concentrations. In addition, we analyze every incoming batch of cocoa beans for its cadmium content. Our product specifications accept only cocoa beans with very low cadmium concentrations. With respect to allowable cadmium concentrations we follow the recommendations of the German Federal Institute for Risk Evaluation. Several consumer tests already confirmed the very low cadmium concentration in Rapunzel chocolate.

Is Rapunzel chocolate gluten-free?

All our chocolate varieties 100% gluten-free. The only exception is the whole milk chocolate Crispy.
