Halal chocolate is chocolate that is made in accordance with Islamic dietary laws. This means it does not contain any non-halal ingredients such as alcohol, non-halal animal-derived emulsifiers, or additives like gelatin. The entire production process, including handling and packaging, must also comply with these standards to ensure purity.

One chocolate brand in our collection that offers halal chocolate is Krakakoa. Krakakoa is a farmer-to-bar chocolate maker from Indonesia, proudly creating quality chocolate that is Halal-certified. Their commitment to ethical sourcing and quality ingredients makes them an excellent choice for anyone looking for delicious, halal-friendly treats.

Artisanal chocolate is crafted in small batches using single-origin cocoa, allowing for a richer and more authentic flavor. It is a powerhouse of antioxidants and flavonoids, providing health benefits beyond just taste. Artisanal chocolates are also fresher since they don’t sit on the shelves for too long, ensuring high quality.

On the other hand, commercial chocolates are mass-produced with stipulated additives, including more sugar, emulsifiers, and lecithin. They are made to last longer on shelves, often for weeks, which can affect their freshness and quality compared to artisanal varieties. If you're looking for a purer, more flavorful chocolate experience, artisanal is the way to go.

Artisanal chocolate brands on GiftGood include Krakakoa, Marou, and Fossa.

To spot artisanal chocolate, look at the ingredient list. Artisanal chocolates typically have a short, simple ingredient list that includes high-quality ingredients like cocoa beans, cocoa butter, sugar, and natural flavors. The fewer the ingredients, the better the quality, and they avoid unnecessary additives.

On the other hand, commercial chocolates often have a longer ingredient list that includes preservatives, artificial flavors, emulsifiers like soy lecithin, hydrogenated oils, corn syrup, and other artificial additives. Choosing artisanal chocolate means choosing quality over quantity, with fewer and more natural ingredients.

Artisanal chocolate is a classic gift that never disappoints. It’s a sign that you’ve taken the time to select something special and thoughtful, showing how much you care. It also speaks to your refined taste and enhances your image as a wise gift-giver. Chocolates are also a universal choice—almost everyone loves them, and artisanal chocolate, in particular, comes with great health benefits, thanks to its rich antioxidants and quality ingredients.
