A love story turned passion project. This is a story about relationships and how a couple have strived to build an ethical business founded on love. Chocolate and Love is a growing family business that supports equitable trade relationships for the purpose of driving social change from crop to consumer in the world of chocolate.

Chocolate and Love was founded by Richard and Birgitte O'Connor in 2010. Leaving behind corporate jobs as chartered surveyor and lawyer respectively, the couple followed their passion for chocolate and desire to develop a brand they could feel good about. Ten years later they are very happy to have the range stocked across 35 countries worldwide.

We are a family-run business creating award-winning, organic and Fairtrade chocolate. And we love it!

Our chocolate bars encapsulate everything we are about: flavours, quality, indulgence; with a strong conscience for the people producing the ingredients and the environment.

We are devoted to creating chocolate bars with high cocoa content and less sugar and have 7 vegan flavours.

We are conscious that we want to create a tasteful experience from start to finish with chocolate that not only look good and taste good, but also do good.

The Chocolate and Love Team is delighted to have won a total of 53 Great Taste Awards so far, having received a further 7 awards in 2021. In addition, our dark chocolate Pomegranate, Coffee and Milk Hazelnut flavours also received awards from Academy of Chocolate. Our smooth Panama was voted the best food product by the Danish health stores in 2017 and our Sea Salt flavour was voted the best food product (out of more than 7,000 food products) by the Danish health stores in 2020. All of these awards are great testament to the wonderful cacao that the farmers are producing.
