Billie Eilish Favorite IChoc Announces Two New Flavors and New Fairtrade Focus

Germany’s iChoc became one of the first 100% plant-based chocolate brands way back in 2015 before mainstream chocolate brands jumped on the vegan bandwagon. Seven years later, the brand announces a Fairtrade upgrade, improved recipes and a new design. In September, the new iChoc goes on sale containing certified Fairtrade cocoa with climate-friendly regional beet sugar instead of cane sugar from Brazil. Valuable ingredients such as buckwheat and almond oil replace the rice milk previously used instead of dairy in most varieties. “The taste is now even closer to the milk chocolate original, because the sweetness is more subtle,” says Gerrit Wiezoreck, Managing Director of EcoFinia, the chocolate manufacturer that produces iChoc.
