CRAFTING TASTY TREATS THAT ARE COMMITTED TO DOING GOOD.
At Radek’s Chocolate, we’re passionate about only using the finest and highest quality ingredients to create our beautiful range of organic and vegan products.
We believe that everyone deserves to enjoy delicious treats without compromising their health, which is why our vegan chocolates are only sweetened with natural sweeteners such as lucuma and coconut sugar.
And we believe that the people that grow our ingredients deserve a fair price for it too. When you buy ethical chocolate, it helps combat child labour in cocoa production and provides better working conditions for those involved in its production.

OUR STORY
About Radek's Chocolate.
Back in 2008, in the heart of Bristol, a passion was born as Radek – our founder – discovered his adoration for cacao beans for the very first time. While putting his culinary skills to use working at an award winning vegetarian restaurant in Bristol, the cacao beans kept calling him. Learning from the exploration of fine cuisines and inventive dishes, Radek used his fine-tuned talents to create his first product: the Brownie with Pecans and Dates – and the rest is history!
Radek’s Chocolate was born out of this beautiful brownie – which we all remain grateful for to this day! He began selling them in festival fields around the country, and it’s still our bestselling favourite when Summer rolls around in our festival café each and every year.
Inspired as well by Radek’s passion for travel and love of the planet, Radek’s Chocolate has always strived to source the highest quality ingredients to make our incredible treats. We use organic certified ingredients where possible (and all of our ingredients are still ethically sourced and organically grown when not certified), and we ourselves are organic certified by OF&G. We love to collaborate with local and like-minded businesses, and we have a huge range of collaborative bars that celebrate our love of our hometown of Bristol – which incidentally, is the home of the very first chocolate bar back in 1847!
From beginning to end, our products are treated with utmost love and care by our conscious staff members. Our ethically sourced cocoa beans are grown by farmers respecting human rights, biodiversity and cocoa forestry. We make our chocolate in micro batches which are stone ground for three days, blending our specially sourced cacao with coconut sugar, cocoa butter, lucuma, vanilla and more before we temper and finally wrap the bars.
So from Radek’s humble beginnings back in 2008 when he began to sell his (now bestselling!) brownies in the festival fields, we’re now proud to call ourselves a small team of almost ten team members! Together, we craft a wide range of delicious, organic goodies that are enjoyed all the way up and down the country. We’re incredibly proud of the business we’ve become, and look forward to every next step of the journey ahead.

MAKING CRAFT CHOCOLATE
We’re proud to be Bristol’s first bean to bar chocolate maker.
Made with ethically sourced cacao grown by farmers respecting human rights, biodiversity, and cocoa forestry, we hand sort and carefully roast the beans. They’re then cracked and winnowed, and we then stone grind the nibs with coconut sugar and cocoa butter, before finally tempering and wrapping these bars.
We create our Bean to bar range in small micro-batches, so we’re always experimenting with new cacao origins. Check out our Bean to Bar range to find out what we currently have in stock, and watch this short video below to learn about some of our making process.
