Oregon Single-Origin Chocolate maker to debut line-up in NEW, NOW NEXT pavilion at Booth #IV29
Philomath Oregon (June 16, 2023) —Moku Chocolate will present the brand’s award-winning chocolate in New York City at the 2023 Summer Fancy Food Show, the largest B2B-only specialty food industry event in North America. Moku Chocolate, which is attending with Oregon State University’s Food Innovation Center, will be featured in the NEW NOW NEXT pavilion which houses new products from startup companies, incubators, and makers.
"We are excited to make our first trip to the Summer Fancy Food Show and to be among so many innovative makers across the specialty food industry”, says Moku Chocolate founder, Maureen Nikaido. “We are looking forward to sharing our small-batch, award-winning chocolate with attendees. Our chocolate will be a delicious addition to retailers' offerings; it meets consumers' desire for high-quality, unique products."
Alongside a selection of dark and milk chocolate, Moku Chocolate will present a seasonal item, a dark milk chocolate bar with roasted Oregon hazelnuts which will be available in stores this fall.
About Moku Chocolate
Dedicated to highlighting cacao farmers around the world, Moku handcrafts high-quality, bean-to-bar, single-origin chocolate from raw, direct trade cacao beans. Moku strives to connect consumers to the land and people of the chocolates’ origins by sharing the stories of the communities where the cacao beans are grown. Moku’s single-origin chocolate bars each tell a different story, each with enchanting and unique flavor profiles.
Moku Chocolate single-origin dark chocolate bars are made with just three ingredients--organic cocoa beans, organic sugar, and organic cocoa butter—and are also vegan, non-GMO, and gluten free. Others may include milk powder or inclusions such as fruit or spices.
Moku Chocolate is a woman–owned business in Philomath, Oregon that launched in February 2021. Shortly thereafter Moku Chocolate earned two International Chocolate Awards for their Goat Milk Chocolate bar and a Good Food Award for their Dark Milk bar - an unusual feat for a chocolate maker in their first year. Since then, Moku Chocolate has earned 5 more International Chocolate Awards and two more Good Food Awards.
