Rebel Chocolate are a small chocolate company based in Glasgow. Run by two scientists, they are on a mission to bring healthier chocolate to the people of Britain and beyond.<\/p>\n

Did you know that most milk chocolate contains a frightening 50 \u2013 60% sugar and excess sugar consumption is a major contributor to the world obesity epidemic? At Rebel Chocolate we are rebelling against the chocolate norm and believe chocolate does not have to be filled with cheap and unhealthy ingredients. Their milk chocolate contains 1) half the sugar compared to market leaders; 2) 25% protein for nutritional enrichment; 3) 57% cocoa, twice as much as market leaders; and 4) no lactose, making it available to millions of lactose-intolerant people. We use some of the best cocoa in the world so our chocolate tastes amazing but is more nutritionally balanced, making it a far healthier treat.<\/p>\n

At the moment they have 4 delicious varieties:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Belgian <\/strong>– Classic milk chocolate made using cocoa sourced from one of Belgian\u2019s leading chocolate producers.<\/p>\n

Single Origin Colombian<\/strong> – To make this wonderful chocolate we use \u201cFino de Aroma\u201d cocoa from the Huila region of Colombia. \u201cFino de Aroma\u201d is an International Cocoa Organisation classification which only the best 8% of the world’s cocoa falls under. Our Colombian chocolate is rich, dark and full of flavour.<\/p>\n

Single Estate Madagascan<\/strong> – To make our Madagascan milk chocolate we use cocoa from the naturally organic Sambirano valley in Madagascar. The chocolate is light in colour and has a delicious tropical\/fruity flavour.<\/p>\n

White<\/strong> – Our white chocolate is made with lots of cocoa butter and nearly 50% less sugar than supermarket rivals. It is buttery, creamy and delicious. It is also our highest protein content chocolate with 28% protein.”<\/p>\n

Stage<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We moved from home kitchen into a small workshop\u00a0in February 2017. We have now successfully tested the market, with quarter on quarter increases\u00a0in sales. Our sales\u00a0model is\u00a01)\u00a0direct through our website and\u00a0attending events;\u00a0and\u00a02)\u00a0trade\u00a0via retail stockists.\u00a0Our\u00a0chocolate is now stocked in 27\u00a0retail stores\u00a0across\u00a0Scotland, Wales and England;\u00a0a figure growing each month.<\/p>\n

Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our vision is to make a significant impact on the fight against obesity by providing healthier chocolate.\u00a0We are currently exploring funding opportunities and our\u00a012 month\u00a0goal is to\u00a0establish a factory allowing\u00a0increased\u00a0production from 25kg to 200kg per week. This will allow us to increase sales within the UK and pursue\u00a0export routes. Within 2 years we plan to sell\u00a0throughout Europe and\u00a0North America, and within 5 years\u00a0worldwide. Importantly, our milk\u00a0chocolate is lactose free,\u00a0making it particularly attractive to Asian countries, where lactose-intolerance\u00a0rates are 80 – 100%. Finally,\u00a0innovation\u00a0is\u00a0at our core\u00a0and we already have a number of novel \u201chealthier\u201d chocolate products ready\u00a0for\u00a0commercial\u00a0production.<\/p>\n
