🥈Silver Award Winning🥈
37% Whole Fruit & Nut

There’s a classic feel to a fruit and nut milk chocolate bar. But all too often that traditional, vintage, legacy bar has become taken for granted. It’s been cut and curtailed - it’s been a victim of austerity when it should always have been a celebration of abundance.

We don’t cut corners. We don’t limit fillings. When we say whole fruit and nut we mean - WHOLE FRUIT and NUT. Literally whole almonds, big juicy whole raisins. Turn the bar over and you can see them spread from corner to corner.

No “nibs”, no cheating, no failing to deliver. No disappointment. This is a luxury bar.

🥈Silver Award Winning🥈
37% Sea Salted Caramel Crisp Milk Chocolate

Creating a range of chocolate bars without salted caramel would be unthinkable. But what would be the point if you can’t top what’s gone before? So, we started by asking - how do we add more joy?

For a start - it’s not just caramel ‘flavour’ - it’s actual salted caramel. The caramel crisp means there’s so much going on - part crunchy, part velvety, part sweet, part salty.

The trick is in the balance and taking the time to get that absolutely spot on. Because that’s what makes ALL the flavours peak. Once you have that right, the silky smooth and ridiculously aromatic GOZO chocolate is taken to another level!

GOZO - 🥈Silver Award Winning 🥈
58% Dark Chocolate and Raspberry

We don’t add flavours - we add ingredients. So, there is no bottle of liquid with a ‘Raspberry’ label. This is the real thing. Our bars have big pieces of raspberry that are gorgeous to work with and a real citrus sharpness that takes our 58% dark chocolate to a whole new, incredible place.

It’s not pink. It’s not especially sweet. The raspberry isn’t dominant - it’s complementary. The sharpness and sweetness meet in the middle and create something that is magical.

🎉🍫 Exciting news alert! 🍫🎉

We're over the moon to announce that GOZO Chocolate Inclusion Bars have scooped not one, not two, but THREE silver awards in the Farm and Deli 24 ambient award category! 🥈🥈🥈

Our delectable and sustainable GOZO chocolate bars have clinched the silver for:
🥈 Milk Chocolate Sea Salted Caramel Crisp, 37%
🥈 Dark Chocolate and Raspberry, 58%
🥈 Milk Chocolate Whole Fruit and Nut, 37%

The GOZO chocolate journey keeps getting better and better!🌟

From Farm shops to Deli's nationwide, and now proudly sitting on the top shelf of the choc bar category in Fenwick Food Hall, Newcastle, we're spreading joy one bite at a time. 😋

At GOZO, our mission has always been to infuse joy back into chocolate, and our Colombian-sourced cacao embodies just that. "GOZO" means "JOY" in Colombia, and that's exactly what our chocolate delivers.

Crafted with care and bursting with flavour, each 130g bar is a testament to the soul-stirring deliciousness of Colombian FINO DE AROMA cacao. And the best part? We're not just about chocolate; we're about spreading joy from bean to generous bite. 🌱💚

Partnering with BCorp certified Luker Chocolate ensures that only the highest quality and sustainably sourced cocoa makes its way into our bars. Plus, with a commitment to ethical, fair-trade practices, empowering farmers and communities to thrive while bringing joy to every corner of the world.

GOZO isn't just a chocolate bar—it's a movement. We're disrupting the confectionery landscape, pushing boundaries, and creating our own space on the shelf with standout, recyclable packaging. Perfect for discerning chocolate enthusiasts, GOZO is your go-to for self-indulgence, gifting, and those special moments that deserve to be celebrated. 🌟

Join us on this delicious journey of joy—because with GOZO, every bite is a celebration!

🎉🍫

Praise indeed from a fabulous biz that knows a thing or two about vegan sweet treats Jesmond Cake Company! 🙌🏻

Autumnal feels 🍁

It’s all about the comfort factor right now. As the nights close in, cosy up with a cuppa and indulge in a generous chunk of exquisite milk or dark GOZO.

Keeping things plain, simple and naturally good.

     

There's something very special about our Oat Milk Chocolate - there's zero compromise.

We didn’t start with the premise that we just wanted this to be plant-based and gluten-free. Because what would be the point if it didn’t taste incredible as well?

The whole idea was to play up to the intricacies of the oat milk as a flavour in its own right.

And we got it so right. It’s spectacular!!

It’s really, really, melt-in-the-mouth delicious. A sweetness and a caramel flavour here make this bar a triumph. It’s not an imitation, it’s not a compromise, it’s unique and so velvety it’s just absolutely gorgeous.

The Natural Grocer Market & Social are the latest to join our JOYFUL bunch of GOZO stockists.

Located in Hexham, Northumberland; the family owned and independent, a retailer that is passionate about local producers and amazing local products.

GOZO fits perfectly into their product portfolio - naturally good, consciously sourced ingredients, using the world's finest cacao. It's abundant, generous and most importantly locally made.

Spend your Fridays & Saturdays with wine tastings, home made tapas and chocolate - a journey that reflects Joanne & Gordon travels!

Now what's not to love about that 🫶

So THIS HAPPENED!

As a local North East chocolate manufacturer, to have our products stocked in Fenwick Newcastle was always an aspirational achievement.

TODAY WE GOT THERE!

What an amazing feeling it is to have GOZO chocolate standing very proud on the top shelf in Fenwick Food Hall, Newcastle.

The result of a real team effort; hearts, souls and everything we know about chocolate is poured into GOZO. There's something very joyous about today!

Relax this Sunday and indulge in the perfect combination of crunchy sea salted caramel crisp pieces, paired with the flowery, fruity and nutty tasting notes of pure Colombian Fino de Aroma milk chocolate.

We take pride in using only the finest ingredients, to bring you that moment of JOY.

GOZO on the GO Turnbull's Northumbrian Food 💜
