About chocolate and cocoa

Liene: “Cocoa, as a plant-based superfood and medicinal plant, has been with me for more than 7 years. During this time, I have gone through different stages in my collaboration with cocoa - searching, doubting, learning, and making mistakes. I have looked into trends and the mass to understand how easy it is to lose yourself in it. And how important it seems to me to stay real and not push your values ​​somewhere behind the fashion scream to please the majority. In everything I have done in life, I have asked what the meaning is and why there is meaning. And then, if I have been able to find an answer in which I see this meaning or transform it so that this meaning arises in it, I have continued. I have also experienced my crisis on the path of cocoa, which has gone hand in hand with my own spiritual path and searches.

I have been where cocoa trees grow and talked to the people who grow them. I know that behind every bean there is life, not just raw material.

That's why I work on the bean-to-bar principle. From the cocoa bean to the chocolate bar or cocoa block, everything is made in-house."

Bean to bar

We do the main steps ourselves — selecting cocoa beans, roasting, grinding, creating a recipe, and tempering the chocolate. Even choosing sugar and how much to add to sweeten. But not to become harmful to health. This allows us to be present at every step. We live in the countryside, where we also create our chocolate and cocoa.

Artisanal creation

We produce in small quantities and with attention to detail. The process is as important to us as the result.

Conscious composition

We choose ingredients that have a known origin and meaning. We cooperate with producers who base their approach on sustainable and organic care of their garden and land, with respect for nature and people. Every element in our products is a conscious choice.

Transparency

We know where the raw materials come from and what is in our products.

Creation as a service

This is not just work. It is a service through which we also want to express our gratitude to nature and its creator, God.

We do not create only to feed the human body, although cocoa's biochemistry affects physical, emotional, and mental well-being. However, only one source can truly quench the human spirit — God. We cannot give it, but we can remind you. We can invite you to stop for a moment to enjoy chocolate or cocoa. Take a breath and dedicate a moment to silent contemplation, gratitude, or prayer for what is currently on your heart.

You can purchase chocolate and cocoa in our online store or by contacting us personally.

When you visit us, there is an opportunity to taste and experience a variety of offerings — teas, fermented buckwheat bread, ghee, coconut milk, yogurt, fermented vegetables, and other seasonal treats.

This section will continue to grow. There is an intention to expand further — into Created in Liepupe, also including products made by local residents of the area. If you are one of our neighbors and have something to offer, we warmly invite you to get in touch with us.
