Functional, Organic, and Sustainable Chocolate Innovations: Meet Us at Nordic Organic Food Fair 2025, Stand J:03

From Idea to International Growth
Choco Group began its journey in 2015 in Kaunas, Lithuania, with a clear goal: to create chocolate of exceptional quality—chocolate that satisfies the senses and aligns with modern values of health, sustainability, and ethics. What started as a small venture focused on cocoa and semi-finished chocolate products has since grown into a fully integrated chocolate manufacturer, offering tailored solutions to clients across Europe and beyond.

Our growth has been fueled by craftsmanship, long-term thinking, and a commitment to purpose-driven innovation. Today, Choco Group is a trusted partner to brands of all sizes—from local producers to international players—offering premium cocoa ingredients, private label services, and a dynamic portfolio of market-ready chocolate that’s as functional as it is flavorful.

A Company Rooted in Values, Powered by Innovation
Led by CEO and co-founder Vytautas Stankevičius, our team of 19 passionate professionals fosters a culture of transparency, ethical business, and creative thinking. We believe that chocolate should enrich lives—not just as a treat, but as a product that reflects care for people and the planet.

We embrace recipe flexibility, small-batch capabilities (starting from 100 kg), and scalable production (up to 2,000 kg), allowing us to serve both niche innovators and high-volume manufacturers. Every chocolate we make is crafted with precision, guided by sustainable sourcing, and inspired by the evolving needs of conscious consumers.

Nordic Organic 2025: Where Functionality Meets Clean Labels
At Stand J:03, we will present a forward-looking portfolio of chocolate products that meet the highest standards of organic certification, sustainability, and nutritional integrity. The world is moving toward cleaner, more responsible food choices—and so are we.

Our offering includes functional chocolate enriched with plant-based proteins, prebiotic fibers like agave inulin, and essential micronutrients. We’ve successfully created chocolate with no added sugar and no sweeteners, achieving balance and flavor without compromise. These clean-label, free-from products are designed for today’s consumers—vegan, keto, lactose-intolerant, or simply seeking transparency.

Our formulations are:
• Organic-certified
• Dairy-free and lactose-free
• Gluten-free and soy-free
• Palm oil-free
• Low in polyols
• Rich in fiber and functional ingredients

All while maintaining complex, indulgent flavor profiles. Because functionality should never mean sacrificing pleasure.

MULATE: The Art of Organic Bean-to-Bar
Our premium brand MULATE is where creativity, sustainability, and award-winning design come together. As a bean-to-bar line, MULATE celebrates the richness of ethically sourced cocoa, transformed into bold and surprising flavor combinations.

With international recognition—including a Gold Medal from the Academy of Chocolate and an A’Design Award—MULATE represents our belief that chocolate can be both beautiful and meaningful. It's a story of responsible sourcing, ecological packaging, and the pursuit of sensory excellence—all in one bar.

Private Label Expertise for Organic and Functional Markets
Choco Group specializes in helping brands develop their own chocolate products—fully aligned with their values, target audience, and sustainability goals. Whether you want to launch an organic chocolate bar, a protein-enriched snack, or a sugar-free spread, we offer complete private label solutions that are flexible, scalable, and certified.

Our clients benefit from:
• A wide selection of pre-developed, market-tested recipes
• The ability to customize flavor, shape, and functionality
• Low MOQs (from just one pallet with our existing recipes, or 2 tons for full customization)
• Packaging formats adapted to your brand and distribution needs
• Production powered by 100% self-generated renewable energy

And of course, we offer both certified organic and conventional ingredient options—ethically sourced and fully traceable—depending on your needs. Many of our ingredients are backed by certifications such as BIO, RSPO, Rainforest Alliance, FSSC 22000, FDA, and Kosher.

Innovation in Motion: Functional Chocolate for the Future
As part of our ongoing expansion, Choco Group began developing high-performance chocolate products. These include protein-enriched options for active consumers, and we're currently working on innovative new lines with MCT oil, collagen, prebiotics, and vitamin complexes to support energy, skin health, and digestive balance.

We're not just following trends—we're inviting partners to co-create the next generation of functional chocolate. Whether you're envisioning a wellness-oriented product or an eco-conscious indulgence, our R&D team is ready to bring your vision to life.

Technology and Safety at the Core
Our production methods are designed to preserve both flavor integrity and nutritional quality. With state-of-the-art conching, tempering, and allergen-detection technologies, we ensure that every batch meets the most rigorous internal and external standards. From small trial runs to large-scale production, consistency and food safety are guaranteed.

A Business Model with Two Pillars: Industry and Retail
Choco Group stands on two complementary pillars:
• Industrial chocolate ingredients (masses, glazes, fillings, decorations) for bakery and confectionery manufacturers
• Ready-to-market chocolate products, including organic lines under our own brand and for private label

This dual focus allows us to deliver both customized B2B solutions and highly curated retail offerings, always grounded in quality, sustainability, and innovation.

Sustainability by Design
At Choco Group, sustainability is not a marketing slogan—it’s embedded in how we operate every day. Our entire production runs on renewable energy we generate ourselves. All packaging is recyclable, and our supply chain follows ESG principles, ensuring respect for both environmental and social ecosystems.

Our certifications reflect more than compliance—they demonstrate our commitment to doing business responsibly. And through our social responsibility initiatives, we invest in education and youth development, helping ensure that the joy of chocolate is shared in meaningful ways.
