Loco Love is artisan chocolate magic.

Launched in 2013, Loco Love's reputation in producing conscious chocolates that resonate with both the palate and soul has paved the way for its unprecedented popularity. We've been featured in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Gourmet Traveller and most recently we were selected as one of the AFR's Fast 100 - in the top 100 fastest growing companies in the Australia market.

The quality of ingredients we use are vital to the alchemy of our high-vibe products. We only use the finest organic, plant-based and whole food ingredients. Our sorcery is in the unique blend of superfoods, tonic herbs, probiotics and healing spices; chocolate with benefits.
