The Indian craft chocolate industry is gaining momentum, reshaping cocoa farming and consumer preferences. Swiss chocolatier Lindt’s recent controversy over heavy metals in chocolates sparked interest in homegrown alternatives. Indian brands like Paul and Mike, Soklet, and Manam Chocolate are championing sustainable practices, supporting farmers, and creating premium bean-to-bar chocolates.
Highlights include:
- Farmer Empowerment: Brands ensure fair pricing, improved fermentation, and direct collaborations with farmers.
- Distinctive Flavors: Unique Indian ingredients like moringa, masala chaas, and mango lassi offer global appeal.
- Consumer Education: Craft chocolate festivals and transparency boost awareness of quality and ethical sourcing.
The rising demand for sustainability and health-conscious options cements Indian craft chocolate as a promising luxury indulgence.
