Welcome to the Whole Food Vegan Podcast! We're all about exciting vegan food with no crap and no agenda. Our mission is to help you enjoy a varied, tasty, easy-to-prepare, and nutritious whole food plant-based diet. Today, we're thrilled to have Bob and Iris from Solkiki Chocolate join us.

From Passion to Craft
Bob and Iris began their chocolate journey in 2008, driven by Iris's craving for vegan white chocolate. They started experimenting with ingredients, and over the years, they've refined their process to create some of the world's best chocolate—vegan or otherwise. They've been vegan for nearly 30 years and 17 years respectively, and their commitment to quality and flavor shines through in every bar.

Award-Winning Chocolate
Solkiki Chocolate has won multiple awards, often competing against traditional dairy chocolates and coming out on top. Their goal has always been to create the best chocolate possible, not just the best vegan chocolate. This dedication has earned them accolades and a loyal following.

The Craft of Chocolate Making
Bob and Iris use only the finest organic ingredients. Their current cocoa butter, rich with tropical fruit notes like pineapple and mango, is a testament to their commitment to quality. They believe that good chocolate starts with good ingredients and that there's no need to add dairy, which only detracts from the natural flavours.

Savour the Flavour
Eating Solkiki chocolate is an experience. They recommend savouring each piece like a fine wine—take your time, smell it, let it melt slowly on your tongue, and enjoy the complex flavours. Their chocolate is more than a treat; it's a mini meditation, a journey through taste.

Unique and Ethical
All of Solkiki's chocolates are available on their website, offering the freshest product and the most choice. They have around 60 varieties, each crafted with care in their small, dedicated workspace. Their chocolate-making process is meticulous, from roasting and cracking beans to grinding and tempering.

The Future of Solkiki
Despite their success, Bob and Iris remain hands-on in every aspect of their business. They are passionate about expanding the market for high-quality, vegan chocolate and encouraging others to explore chocolate making as a hobby or business.

Connect with Solkiki
You can find Solkiki Chocolate on their website, solkiki.co.uk, and on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
