Six Types of Chocolate We Produce
What you can buy at our MG Road workshop or order for delivery
Each category below represents what we actually produce in our small facility. We do not make everything at once. Some items are seasonal or made to order. Prices and availability change based on ingredient costs and production schedules.
Classic Chocolate Bars
Our standard product. Rectangular bars weighing 50 grams each. We make these in six cocoa percentages: 55%, 65%, 75%, 85% for dark chocolate, plus two milk chocolate versions at 38% and 45% cocoa.
What makes them different:
-
Single origin: All bars from one batch use beans from the same farm in Chikmagalur
-
Two ingredients only: Cocoa and organic cane sugar, nothing else added to dark varieties
-
Longer shelf life: Stay fresh for 8 months when stored in cool dry conditions
-
Standard size: Easier to compare percentages when trying different cocoa levels
₹180 - ₹250 per bar depending on cocoa percentage
Chocolate Truffles
Soft ganache centers coated in tempered chocolate. We make these fresh twice a week in small batches. Each truffle weighs about 15 grams. Sold in boxes of 6, 9, or 12 pieces.
How truffles differ from bars:
-
Cream content: Ganache filling contains dairy cream, making them softer and richer than solid bars
-
Short shelf life: Must be eaten within 5 days, cannot be kept long term like bars
-
Temperature sensitive: Need refrigeration in Bangalore heat, bars do not
-
More labor intensive: Each piece hand-rolled and dipped, takes 3 hours per batch
₹450 for 6 pieces / ₹650 for 9 pieces / ₹850 for 12 pieces
Gift Sets
Pre-arranged assortments in presentation boxes. We offer three standard sets: Tasting Set (6 bars at different percentages), Mixed Set (3 bars plus 6 truffles), and Premium Set (9 bars in wooden box).
What sets include beyond individual products:
-
Tasting guide: Printed card explaining each chocolate percentage and flavor notes
-
Better packaging: Rigid boxes with magnetic closures instead of paper wrappers
-
Gift message option: We can include a handwritten card if requested 24 hours ahead
-
Custom selection: Call workshop to request specific combinations not in standard sets
₹1,100 - ₹2,800 depending on set size and contents
Vegan Chocolate
All our dark chocolate bars from 65% to 85% are already vegan. This category includes special vegan milk chocolate made with coconut cream instead of dairy. Currently one variety at 42% cocoa content.
Differences from regular products:
-
Dark bars are naturally vegan: No difference in production or ingredients from our regular dark chocolate
-
Vegan milk uses coconut: Coconut cream powder replaces dairy, adds slight coconut flavor
-
Different melting point: Coconut fat melts faster than cocoa butter, softer texture in warm weather
-
Limited to one flavor: We only make plain vegan milk chocolate, no variations yet
Dark: ₹180 - ₹250 / Vegan milk: ₹280 per 50g bar
Gluten-Free Chocolate
Most of our chocolate is already gluten-free because we use only cocoa, sugar, and sometimes dairy. We mark products as certified gluten-free after testing each batch at a lab in Bangalore that checks for cross contamination.
Why we test for gluten-free certification:
-
No gluten ingredients used: Cocoa beans, cane sugar, and dairy cream do not contain gluten naturally
-
Cross contamination risk: Our sugar supplier processes wheat in same facility, requires testing
-
Lab verification: We send samples every month to test below 20 ppm gluten threshold
-
Excludes add-in varieties: Chocolate with cookies or wafer pieces cannot be certified gluten-free
Same price as regular products, testing cost included
Chocolate with Add-ins
Bars with extra ingredients mixed in before molding. Current options: roasted almonds, cashews, dried cranberries, orange peel, sea salt. We make these in 65% dark chocolate only, 60 gram bars instead of standard 50 grams.
How add-in bars differ from plain chocolate:
-
Sourcing complexity: Must find organic nuts and fruits that meet our standards, limits variety
-
Preparation time: Nuts need roasting separately, fruits need chopping, adds 2 hours to process
-
Shorter shelf life: Nuts go rancid faster than chocolate, 4-5 months maximum freshness
-
Uneven distribution: Add-ins settle during cooling, some pieces have more nuts than others
-
Allergen considerations: Produced on shared equipment, not safe for severe nut allergies
₹320 per 60g bar (all add-in varieties same price)

120 Bars Monthly to Koramangala IT Office, 180 Bars for Wedding
Four current corporate clients, 50-500 bars per order, 50% advance payment required
Our production capacity is limited. We make 25-30 kilograms of chocolate per week, which equals roughly 500-600 bars. Corporate orders compete with retail stock. We cannot fulfill last-minute bulk requests. Current corporate clients include three IT companies in Koramangala and two restaurants in Indiranagar.
🍫 Monthly Office Subscriptions
One IT company orders 120 bars monthly for their Bangalore team. We deliver first Tuesday each month with GST invoice. They rotate between 65%, 75%, and milk chocolate based on employee feedback surveys. Started April 2024, renewed three times already.
Example cost: 100 bars at ₹200 average = ₹20,000 minus 10% discount = ₹18,000 monthly
🍫 Wedding and Conference Supply
Last month we supplied 180 bars for a Bangalore wedding reception. Broke each 50g bar into 4 pieces for 720 small portions. Delivered to venue 2 hours before event in insulated boxes. Guest feedback was positive according to couple who hired us.
Recent example: 200 bars for 800 guests = ₹40,000 including delivery and breaking into portions

We work with printing shop in Shivajinagar for custom box lids. Send logo as AI or EPS file. Printer makes plate, charges us ₹5,000 setup. Then prints your logo on magnetic-close box lids. Minimum 200 boxes because printer charges same setup fee regardless of quantity. Most recent order: tech company logo for Diwali gifts.
Full cost: ₹5,000 setup + (₹150 per box × quantity) + chocolate inside boxes

Try Before You Buy: Free Samples at MG Road
Unsure which cocoa percentage suits your taste? Visit our workshop and ask for samples. We let you taste one percentage free. If you want to try multiple percentages, we charge ₹50 which gets deducted from your purchase.
Most people settle on 65% or 75% after tasting. Some prefer our 55% for less bitterness. The 85% is too intense for most customers.
