In a world where major corporations dominate the chocolate industry, small brands drive purity and innovation. Pascha Chocolate isn’t just any small chocolate company—we're Rainforest Alliance Certified, our chocolate is made from the bean to finished bar in the growing region, 80% female-run and an allergen-free brand dedicated to crafting the purest, most sustainable dark chocolate.
While big chocolate brands prioritize mass production and profit, we focus on quality, ethics, and sustainability—without compromising on taste or safety for those with food allergies. Here’s what it really means to be a small, ethical, allergen-free chocolate brand in an industry led by corporate giants.
One of the biggest ways we stand apart?
Unlike most big chocolate brands, we don’t ship our cacao for processing—we drive our cacao beans over the Andes mountains to an allergen-free facility near the source, ensuring complete control over production from start to finish.
Here’s why that matters—and why your support of our ethically made chocolate makes a difference.
Are Other Brands Truly Allergen-Free?
Many major chocolate companies source their cacao from different regions, shipping it across the world for processing. This means that even if a chocolate bar is labeled "dairy-free" or "nut-free," it can have a greater risk of cross-contamination.
At Pascha Chocolate, we do things differently.
We keep our cacao close to the source – We drive our beans over the mountains to a dedicated allergen-free facility. This ensures complete control over every step of the process.
100% Dedicated Allergen-Free Facility – Our chocolate is made in a facility that is completely free from dairy, soy, gluten, wheat and all nuts. Unlike major brands, there is zero risk of cross-contact.
Rainforest Alliance Certified Cacao – Our sourcing approach means that we work closely with small farms that follow ethical, sustainable practices, ensuring fair wages for farmers & responsible land use.
By keeping the entire production process close to our cacao source, we guarantee that Pascha Chocolate is one of the purest & safest allergen-free chocolates available.
What It Means to Be a Family-Owned Chocolate Business
Big chocolate brands have the advantage of global recognition, widespread distribution, and large advertising budgets. At Pascha Chocolate, we take a different approach, our team is driven to create chocolate that everyone can enjoy—without compromise.
Our chocolate is created with passion, integrity, and a commitment to allergen-free, ethical chocolate.
Choosing a family owned and operated chocolate company, over mass-produced brands means:
Allergen-Free & Inclusive – Pascha Chocolate is free from the top 9 allergens, including dairy, soy, gluten, peanuts, & tree nuts. Big chocolate brands often process their products in facilities that handle allergens, making cross-contamination a concern. At Pascha, our entire facility is allergen-free, so you can enjoy chocolate with confidence.
Rainforest Alliance Certified Cacao – We source our cacao from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms, ensuring ethical, sustainable practices that protect biodiversity, support fair wages for farmers, & minimize environmental impact.
Higher-Quality Ingredients – No artificial flavors, fillers, or emulsifiers—just pure, organic cacao with no hidden ingredients. Our dark chocolate is rich, smooth, & made for true chocolate lovers.
Empowering Women in Business – With an 80% female-led team, Pascha Chocolate champions diversity in an industry where leadership is still largely male-dominated. We believe in supporting women at every level of our business, from cacao farming to executive leadership.
Sustainability: The Core of Our Chocolate
One of the biggest ways Pascha Chocolate stands apart from mass-market brands is our commitment to sustainability & ethical sourcing.
While other brands are only now attempting to shift toward ethical chocolate, we’ve been leading the way since day one.
Rainforest Alliance Certified Cacao – Our cacao farmers follow strict sustainability standards, ensuring they protect ecosystems, promote biodiversity, and receive fair wages.
Organic & Non-GMO – Our chocolate is USDA Organic Certified & Non-GMO Project Verified, meaning you’ll never find pesticides, synthetic additives, or genetically modified ingredients in our bars and chips.
Choosing Pascha means choosing chocolate that supports people & the planet!
