The Benjamissimo Vision

The Benjamin Family discover their passion for chocolate in 2014. They start experimenting at home making chocolate from raw cacao. Their idea is to make the first Bulgarian organic raw chocolate, sweetened with agave syrup.

Their passion, however, does not slow down and for several years they taste hundreds of chocolates from around the world. This leads to their new passion – chocolate, made of roasted cacao beans.

The two brothers Krassimir and Martin Benjamin along with Martin’s wife Sarah Alsbey studied the history of cacao and bean processing technology. In the beginning of 2017 two new brands – Benjamíssimo and Happy Benjamino – were born – 16 new products with interesting recipes.
With their acquired knowledge they equip a factory, hire and train a chief technologist and a whole chocolate crew to become aware and professional with the production processes behind the subtle chocolate tastes. From the cacao bean, imported from distant Nicaragua to the “sensual touch” when tasting the final product, you will feel the undeniable health benefits and good taste.

The certification of all organic standards, plus transparency in the supply chain, are a matter of course for us. Our Organic-certified producers of cacao, apply the ancient system of the permaculture in which cacao trees are planted among trees like mango, avocado and papaya. Thus the fine exotic fragrances of these trees are entwined in the rich and unique aroma of that extraordinary cacao. There is almost no bitterness and it has a delicate, well-balanced, exquisite taste.

Vegan

Have you ever seen the chocolate index – “can shed traces of milk”. There are plenty of companies that make both vegan and non-vegan chocolates. In Bio Benjamin, we produce only vegan chocolate and absolutely every ingredient, that enters the production factory has plant origin.

Fair Cacao

We only use exceptionally high quality fairly traded cacao beans, grown in family-run farms in Nicaragua, Ecuador, Colombia and Peru. Thus we guarantee that the cacao beans are fairly grown and farmers are fairly paid.

Gluten-Free

A gluten-free diet strictly excludes gluten, a mixture of proteins found in wheat and related grains, including barley, rye, oat and others. All our chocolate bars are entirely safe for people with gluten sensitivity.

Raw Cacao

Raw chocolate is chocolate that is produced in a raw or minimally processed form. It is made from unroasted (sun-dried) cacao beans and cold-pressed cacao butter. Raw chocolate cacao beans are processed under 45°C, while other chocolates are made on temperatures over 160°C – 180°C.
