The Original All Natural Sugar Free, Gluten Free, Trans Fats Free Chocolate
Since 1997
Coco Polo/YC Chocolate is a company dedicated solely to making distinctive
high cocoa chocolates without processed sugars.
Our chocolate have been developed specifically with the natural community in
mind. The taste is, without question its main feature, created for a safe and
healthy enjoyment.
These sugar free confections are created without artificial colorings, flavors,
preservatives or sweeteners to match or exceed the finest sugar-sweetened
chocolates in taste and texture.
History
Manufacturing of high quality sugar sweetened chocolates began in 1979 for a
small retail store in Northern California-each piece truly hand-stirred and
hand-dipped into chocolate, delicately swirled on top displaying its signature
identification. These chocolates were full of cocoa flavor and created with care.
The chocolate store business grew- more people came. With them, came their
growing concerns about the negative health effects of sugar and also people
who could not safely eat any foods with processed sugar, people with Diabetes.
Our chocolates, if they were to address those concerns, needed to evolve into
a more responsible treat.
In 1997, Coco Polo/YC Chocolate was created solely as a sugar free company,
using the newly introduced natural sweetener Maltitol. This allowed us to
concentrate on a product line addressing the growing demand for healthier
chocolate, all natural without the processed sugars, while maintaining
chocolate's distinctive antioxidants and taste enjoyment.
Coco Polo/YC was the first U.S. company to manufacture an all natural sugar
free chocolate for use exclusively in our products.
As a result of our first exposure to the natural community at the Natural Products
Show East and the NY Fancy Food Show, our chocolates won the Best of Aisle
awards in 1999 and 2000 by Gourmet Retailer Magazine at the New York Fancy
Food Show, was voted One Of The Hottest New Products by the N.A.S.F.T.
(National Association for the Specialty Food Trade) Magazine in Christmas
2000 and won second place in the Best Tasting Chocolate category competing
against sugar sweetened chocolates at the Natural Products Show East.
In the Fall of 2011, after over a decade of waiting for the government approval
of Reb A (an extract of Stevia) and revising our formulas many times to develop
a pleasurable tasting chocolate with the most responsible and desirable of
sweeteners available, we now offer the Cadenza line of 70% Cocoa dark
chocolate bars sweetened with Stevia. The Cadenza bars have a full bodied
natural sweetness with taste characteristics belonging to noteworthy high
cocoa chocolates, but, now liberated from processed sugar.
For Chocolate Lovers, taste is everything.
Our responsibility to you is to make that luxurious taste healthy.Coco Polo/YC
