Background
VIVANI was founded in 2000 by Andreas Meyer and first presented at the Biofach trade fair. Meyer is a trained baker and qualified nutritional scientist who previously worked for several organic and fair trade companies.
The brand is marketed by EcoFinia GmbH, based in Bochum; the bars are made at the Ludwig Weinrich chocolate factory in Herford. In German organic specialist retail VIVANI is among the leading brands in the bar chocolate segment.
Range
The range consists mainly of organic bar chocolate in dark, milk and white variants, supplemented by snack bars and seasonal items. Within the range there are no-added-sugar variants; the remaining bars are conventionally sweetened, in some cases with raw cane sugar or coconut blossom sugar.
The vegan sister brand iChoc is marketed by the same company.
What sets the brand apart
VIVANI works with organic certification throughout and puts its emphasis on raw material origin and growing partnerships – a profile that differs from purely functional sugar-free brands. Production in Germany and a market presence going back to 2000 speak for continuity.
After years of sharply rising cocoa prices, the brand lowered the recommended retail price of numerous bars again as of September 2026.
