Here’s what an ingredient list can’t tell me.
Whether the cacao comes through. Whether the sweetness is balanced. Whether I want another square.

Making chocolate has made me particular about all three.

I choose ingredients carefully, but how they come together matters just as much.

That’s the standard I bring to BELOVD. Chocolate that tastes every bit as good as its ingredients sound.

Tell me about a food you’ve found that gets both right. I’m always looking for recommendations. 🤎

I started reading ingredient lists because my daughter had food allergies.

At first, I was looking for what she couldn’t eat. Over time, I started paying attention to what was there. What each ingredient did. Why it was used. How one choice could change the taste, texture, or way a food was made.

Making chocolate only deepened that curiosity. It’s why I think about every ingredient in BELOVD, from cacao and coconut sugar to spirulina, salt, fruit and spice.

Ingredients tell a story. I’ve learned to read it.📚

What made you start paying attention to ingredient lists?🤔

Making chocolate changed the way I read food labels.

I don’t look for the shortest list. I don’t assume an ingredient I can’t pronounce is bad. And I don’t believe “natural” automatically tells me much.

I look at the choices.

What creates the flavor?
What creates the texture?
What creates the sweetness?
What actually needs to be there?

Once you start looking at food packaging this way, ingredient lists get much more interesting.

What’s the first thing you look for on a food label? 🤔

Spirulina 🌱 was part of my story long before chocolate was.

Years before BELOVD, I learned about it through my work in international public health. Then I started making chocolate.🍫

I remembered spirulina and wondered what it could bring to the recipe. So I tried it.

And it’s been in BELOVD ever since.
Some ingredients earn their place. ✨

My daughter’s allergies are why I started making chocolate.

But from the beginning, I judged every batch by a different question: Is this chocolate I would choose because I love it?

Deep chocolate flavor. Layered texture. Just enough sweetness. Ingredients chosen with a reason.

Making it without the Top 9 allergens shaped the recipe. It never lowered the standard.

That standard was always delicious.✨🍫

For a long time, I thought BELOVD’s story was the chocolate.

But the more I’ve gone back to the beginning, the more I realize it’s really about the choices behind it.

I started making chocolate because of my daughter’s allergies. But what I set out to make was never “allergy chocolate.”

I wanted really good chocolate. Rich, layered, not overly sweet. Made with ingredients I chose deliberately. Spirulina included.

That standard shaped BELOVD from the beginning. And it still shapes every bar I make by hand today.

There’s more of that story I want to tell here. Starting at the beginning.

I smiled when I read that Mars is using spirulina to replace artificial blue dye in M&M’s. Not because of spirulina itself. I’ve worked with spirulina for years. What caught my attention was everything happening behind the scenes to make that change possible.

According to the article, replacing one ingredient means higher costs, equipment upgrades, manufacturing challenges, and months of testing. All for a different source of blue.

It reminded me how easy it is to think of ingredients as just words on a label. They’re not.

Ingredients shape the product. They shape how it’s made. Sometimes they shape what can be made at all.

At BELOVD, spirulina has been part of our COCOALINA® blend from the beginning.
We didn’t choose it because it was trendy. We chose it because we liked what it brought to the chocolate.

Food starts with ingredients. And the more attention I pay to food, the more I realize that ingredients often tell a much bigger story than most of us ever see.

What ingredient have you seen on a label recently that made you curious?

Food starts with ingredients.
Ingredients tell a story.
BELOVD starts there.

Who decided food has to choose between flavor and nourishment?

Because when I eat something, I want both.
I want it to taste amazing. And I want it to feel good in my body. That doesn’t feel like a big ask. Yet we’ve somehow come to think those are separate goals.

Maybe the best food was never meant to choose. ✨
