How do you ensure consistency in the quality of your chocolate?

At Luker Chocolate, we prioritise precision and excellence at every stage of production.

Do you offer single-origin options, and from which regions are your cocoa beans sourced?

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.

Can formulations be customised to suit specific needs (e.g., cocoa percentage, sugar levels, inclusions)?

Absolutely! We collaborate closely with our clients to tailor chocolate formulations that meet their unique needs and market demands. 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.
