At York Cocoa Works we believe in making the production process as transparent and accessible as possible so that great chocolate can be enjoyed by everyone.
We are often asked about the ingredients we use and how suitable our chocolates are for chocolate lovers that have a whole range of special dietary requirements.
We have our own appreciation of just how challenging it can be to find out what goes into the food we want to enjoy and share with loved ones which is why we make our chocolate in the way that we do.
Unfortunately we can't guarantee that anything is free from all allergen traces but we keep all allergen containing ingredients to a minimum and where possible use them in very limited pieces of equipment. If there's anything you'd like to know please do ask.
We've gathered together the following products that are in our gift range and made without milk for vegan chocolate lovers - please do check with your loved one before buying chocolate for someone who has an allergy to dairy.
