What we do differently

At Mellow, we believe in honest chocolate. We're committed to ethical sourcing and a transparent supply chain. Learn more about our efforts to raise the bar on chocolate.

Responsible farming

We purchase our cacao from farms that practice agroforestry, which involves the cultivation of cacao trees among other plants and crops. This method supports agroecological restoration, rebuilding soil fertility while boosting agroecosystem functions. This approach produces nutrient-rich, premium-quality cocoa while fighting cocoa extinction.

Direct trade, fair pay

We work directly with farmers who share our values, fostering trust and improving both livelihoods and cocoa quality.

We set clear agreements on pricing, quality, and ethics to ensure fairness. Our pricing reflects real production costs, ensuring farmers are paid fairly for their work.

Ethical and slavery-free

Our farmers work in ethical conditions, free from child labor or slavery, and are paid fairly for their work. We believe that everyone in our supply chain deserves respect, safe working conditions, and a fair wage. By fostering these standards, we help build a sustainable cocoa industry where farmers and their communities can thrive.

Traceable & organic

We work with single-origin cocoa beans from some of the best farmers and social cooperatives in the world. We source our organic cocoa beans directly from cooperatives, ensuring our chocolate is traceable and that we know where our ingredients come from.

We process our chocolate gently to preserve more antioxidants and nutrients. Every bar we produce is organic, free from emulsifiers, naturally gluten-free and soy-free, and entirely plant-based.
