Our Collaborations

Did you know that Bristol was the original birthplace of the chocolate bar? And even now, Bristol continues to be filled with innovative, hard-working small businesses – some of whom we’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with.

Radek’s Chocolate has always strived to source high quality ingredients, and sustainability is at the forefront of our ethos, and we’re very pleased to say that we have been able to align ourselves with other small businesses who share these beliefs.

Our collaboration range features the hard work of some of our fantastic neighbours to create an array of unique and creative bars. We’ve joined forces with a handful of them to bring these innovative ideas to life.

the fungarium approach

Bristol Fungarium strive to do things differently.

Prioritising organically grown native strains makes them on of the only mushroom companies in the world who know exactly where their mushrooms originate in the wild.

They do this by carefully foraging for interesting species, taking them back to their lab on the mushroom farm, and cloning them on plates of agar before fruiting them.

By prioritising strains that are native to the land we’re on, Bristol Fungarium are helping to avoid the spread of billions (and billions) of spores from commercial mushroom strains that have been selected specifically for their ability to grow fast and fruit heavily, and will easily outcompete a lot of the beautiful native fungi that can be found within close proximity of their farm. The objective at The Bristol Fungarium is to grow local mushroom strains that have developed over millions of years in an attempt to be mindful about the impact on the local flora and fauna.

Once harvested, the medicinal mushrooms are then dried in an infrared dehydrator at exactly 34°C to maximise the quantity of bioactive compounds that make their way into their medicinal range. They are currently working towards lab testing all of their products in collaboration with University labs, as well as a range of fully organic medicinal tinctures.

We’ve collaborated with Bristol Fungarium to create a full range of Lion’s Mane infused delights, meaning that it’s never been easier for you to incorporate this amazing mushroom into your wellbeing routine. Full of mood-boosting goodness that can contribute to brain health and work to keep you alert, our chocolate is all the better for this collaboration.

BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER WITH Wogan Coffee

The parallels between coffee roasting and chocolate making are kind of uncanny, really. Both involve beans, a whole lot of precision, and a touch of obsession. And when it comes to working with Wogan Coffee, the alignment in values is just as spot-on.

Wogan is a family-run business that’s been sourcing, roasting, and sharing exceptional coffee in Bristol since 1970. They’re big believers in sustainability, transparency, and relationships – not just with coffee producers, but with everyone who picks up a cup of their brew. For them, coffee isn’t just a drink – it’s a way to connect people, tell stories, and do things a little better.

They roast their beans just a stone’s throw from us in Bristol, in a solar-powered roastery that’s all about quality and care. It’s here that they bring out the best in beans from all over the world, celebrating distinctive flavours while keeping things ethical and environmentally conscious.

We’ve used their beautiful Colombian single origin in our Almond M*lk Mocha bars – and we can confirm: chocolate loves coffee. Like us, Wogan take a hands-on approach, paying attention to every detail, every roast, every batch. Turns out, when you share values (and a postcode), good things happen.

THE HEART OF BRISTOL CBD’S VALUES

CBD oil is a fabulous food supplement rich in cannabinoids and terpenes, which help to bring balance to our bodies and minds. When considering it as an ingredient to incorporate into our chocolates to further elevate them to superfood status, it was a no-brainer for us to collaborate with the team at Bristol CBD to bring this idea to life.

Bristol CBD was set up by natural healthcare practitioners Mark Dunn and Koren Barnwell. After deciding to start using CBD oil themselves in 2016, they decided to share it with a friend a few months later who was undergoing intensive hospital treatment; the health-giving properties that they experienced from CBD during this time was astounding. The excitement they felt soon spread.

The Bristol CBD network has been growing ever since, as has their passion to share this wonderful plant extract with as many people as possible.

Their mission is to provide high quality CBD products at affordable prices and continue educating people about CBD oil and its health-giving benefits. Bristol CBD try to keep things as local as possible when sourcing their ingredients and packaging. Their CBD extract comes from the most ethically responsible hemp farms in the EU. They hand-craft their full spectrum CBD oil in small batches, and their team bottle them up right here in Bristol.

We’re so proud to be offering our organic, vegan CBD chocolate bar range to our community. Why? Because it doesn’t get much better than the combination of organic CBD oil and high quality, organic cacao. You’ll find a delightful fusion that brings together the goodness of plant-based indulgence and the potential health benefits of cannabinoids in our CBD collaboration range.

PASSION AND CRAFT WITH WIPER AND TRUE

At Wiper and True, they love one thing: beautiful beer.

They first fell in love with brewing on the stove at home, surrounded by pots, pans, and raw ingredients. Tinkering endlessly, they studied the ancient art of their vocation. Nomadically brewing around the country, they learned from fantastically generous, knowledgeable artisans, honing their craft along the way.

Although they’ve come a long way since their early days, all of their recipes today stem from the same original desire to create something beautiful and delicious. Today, they’ve outgrown their roots as nomadic brewers, and operate out of two production sites in Bristol.

Their aim is to act with thoughtful integrity in all areas of their business, looking beyond the scope of their product to ensure they integrate with and contribute to sustainable positive change for the local community and for the wider world.

We’re so proud to have collaborated with these amazingly talented folks to create our Cocoa IPA Malted Barley bar. Using the Munich barley malt and Citra hop pellets that they use in some of their IPAs, we’ve created an outcome that is a truly unique experience – in collaboration with a truly unique business.
