FINE CHOCOLATE INGREDIENTS

At Luker Chocolate, we prioritise precision and excellence at every stage of production. Our in-house laboratory conducts over 100,000 tests annually, employing more than 90 analytical methods across physical, microbiological, and sensory evaluations. These rigorous quality control processes ensure that every batch meets the highest industry standards. Additionally, we work closely with trusted suppliers and maintain strong relationships to secure consistent, high-quality cocoa, guaranteeing uniformity across all our chocolate products.

Yes, all our chocolates are proudly single-origin, exclusively sourced from Colombia. We also offer single-region options that focus on showcasing the unique flavour profiles of specific regions, such as Huila, Tumaco, and Santander. Each origin reflects the rich characteristics of its region, shaped by its distinct climate, soil, and cultural heritage, providing an authentic and unique taste experience.

Whether it’s adjusting cocoa percentages, sugar levels, or adding unique inclusions, our dedicated NPD team ensures the formulation aligns not only with your vision but also with evolving consumer trends. From initial consultation to finalisation, we support you every step of the way.

Our formulations are engineered for outstanding performance across a wide range of applications, including glossy bonbons, velvety ganache, and robust couverture. For bespoke requirements, we also develop tailored formulations that suit specific applications or consumer preferences, starting from certain minimum order quantities (MOQs).

Consistency is at the core of our manufacturing process. We use advanced equipment, adhere to standardised recipes, and implement rigorous monitoring throughout every production stage. This ensures uniformity in taste, texture, and quality across all batches, even in large production runs.

Combined with thorough labelling practices, we help clients meet consumer expectations for allergen safety and trust.
