Background
ChocZero was founded in 2016 as a family-run chocolate factory in Southern California. Its stated starting point was that chocolate should not depend on refined sugar for full flavour.
The brand addresses people eating ketogenic, low-carb or reduced-sugar diets, and has extended its range beyond chocolate into everyday products such as coffee syrups and spreads.
Sweetening strategy
ChocZero sweetens with monk fruit and, by its own publicly argued account, deliberately avoids erythritol. The company has published a dedicated explainer page on the decision.
That commitment distinguishes the brand from most competitors in the segment, which use erythritol either alone or combined with stevia.
Range
The range covers bars and chocolate chips in dark, milk and white variants, cookie and wafer products, candy bars, fruit chews and a comparatively large selection of no-added-sugar coffee syrups – in flavours such as Cinnamon Dolce, Pumpkin Spice and Salted Caramel.
Distribution runs mainly through the brand's own shop and US retail. In Germany ChocZero is only available via import.
What sets the brand apart
The clearly communicated and publicly argued decision against erythritol makes ChocZero relevant for people who tolerate sugar alcohols poorly. The breadth of the range beyond bar chocolate – the syrups above all – is also unusual in the sugar-free segment.
