Raaka, meaning ‘raw’ in Finnish, is a dark chocolate brand that boasts its natural cocoa flavors
that forgo the roasting process. Coining themselves as the ‘virgin chocolate’ brand,
Raaka is vegan, nut-free and gluten-free; therefore, making this a chocolateopen for anyone to enjoy.
Born out of Brooklyn’s movement around craftsmanship and getting back to the roots of things,
Raaka has capitalized on the artisanal culture of chocolate-making. As a self-taught chocolate company,
it is an American-style craft chocolate brand that’s made with minimal process and packaged with
hand-drawn patterns. By using fair trade cocoa beans and recycled soy paper,
Raaka takes an ethical initiative to foster a community centered around sustainability and a better life
from the farm communities at which the cocoa beans are sourced to the communities that share this handcrafted experience.
